The Queendom of Matoi is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its state-planned economy and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.203 billion Matoians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 40.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Matoian economy, worth 107 trillion yen a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Book Publishing, Trout Farming, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 25,524 yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Wigged-out hunters report playing croquet with the Queen of Hearts, the nation refuses to discard its increasingly useless penny, children gain their first sex education from reading the dictionary, and families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Matoi's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Matoi is ranked 175,313^th in the world and 1,817^th in Ambition for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 372.99 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
