The Empire of Matricom is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Overseer Prime with an even hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working population of 8.408 billion Matricomians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government is primarily concerned with Education, although Industry, Administration, and Welfare are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Neon Techclave. The average income tax rate is 32.4%.

The powerhouse Matricomian economy, worth 812 trillion M-bits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 96,652 M-bits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Many suspect the government "doth protest too much" with their curiously specific denials of conspiracy theories, the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly, up to 40% of voters can finally read the issues they're deciding on, and the nightly news reports prosaically on the government blindly throwing money at despotic kidnappers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Matricom's national animal is the Cyber-dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Matricom is ranked 49,924^th in the world and 1,145^th in The East Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 51.48 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
