| abstract | - Middan is a planet in the Wotan system made up of a single continent known as Mittmark and various large islands. Middan is the only known planet with the capacity to maintain life, attributed to the vast oceanic cover of the planet which is made up of liquid water. The planet has an approximate area of 74,800,000 square kilometres, with 28,549,000 of that area being made up of solid land. The atmosphere is made up of about 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and 1% argon, with traces of other gasses as well. The planet is considered to rest in a Goldilocks zone, in which the distance from the sun, known as Wotan, is just the right distance to allow for liquid water oceans and to facilitate the development of life. The core of the planet is also responsible for the formation of life, as its high density allows for stable gravity levels and its composition of mostly iron creates a geomagnetic field that shields the atmosphere from volatile solar winds. Middan is the only planet known to be a host of life, with this unique feature being attributed to a wide range of factors. The planet is ecologically diverse, but the relatively small size of the planet in comparison to most other celestial bodies leads to a generally temperate climate and a common variety of plant and animal life across the planet's many regions. The rise of humanity is attributed to the arduous conditions of some of the more extreme parts of the globe, specifically the Parvopolian plain, which resulted in the development of cities and founded the basis of contemporary civilisation. The 520.343 million humans of Middan are divided amongst eight sovereign states, loosely united under the Organisation of States. Middan has two moons, Saga and Frigg, and is the second planet from the star Wotan, following Thor and preceding Tyr. The moons of Middan create tides through their gravitational interaction with Middan, and also stabilise the axial tilt. During one orbit around Wotan, Middan orbits 365.26 times on its axis, with the axis of rotation being tilted 23.4° away from the perpendicular of its orbital plane, producing seasons. Each rotation on the axis creates a constant 24 hour cycle of day and night.
