The Sovereignty of Mate Uniumburgia is a colossal, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 8.345 billion Matans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.
The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yakusho. The average income tax rate is 91.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse Matan economy, worth 684 trillion guilders a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery. Average income is 82,036 guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Recognizing the Matan flag qualifies you for citizenship, truncheon-mounted cameras record the beating of criminals in dynamic HD detail, doctors prescribe medicines but they rarely dispense hope or compassion, and a weakened police force struggles to maintain law and order. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mate Uniumburgia's national animal is the horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Mate Uniumburgia is ranked 169,304th in the world and 163rd in Democratic Socialist Assembly for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 57.47 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
