The Empire of Madja as is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons, anti-smoking policies, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 855 million Madja asians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Civitas Nobilis. The average income tax rate is 40.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Madja asian economy, worth 84.6 trillion Kwartas a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 98,966 Kwartas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Extreme hiring regulations mean a job in Madja as is often a lifetime appointment, legal contracts aren't worth the paper they're written on, asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes, and extraordinary tribunals try accused financial criminals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Madja as's national animal is the Spotted deer, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Madja as is ranked 20,483^rd in the world and 71^st in Wintreath for Highest Food Quality, scoring 115.53 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
