The Queendom of Maestrale is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 3.834 billion Maestraleans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 29.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Maestralean economy, worth 107 trillion yen a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 28,053 yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Maestrale's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, women who walk into the ladies' changing room are accused of being Peeping Toms, citizens try to pass off bottlecaps they found in their backyards as historical artifacts, and preschoolers practice disarming active shooters before naptime. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Maestrale's national animal is the rabbit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Maestrale is ranked 115,452nd in the world and 2,092nd in Ambition for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 142.25 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
