The Republic of Mattk is a colossal, safe nation, remarkable for its restrictive gun laws and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 6.161 billion Mattkians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The large, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 43.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but stagnant Mattkian economy, worth 75.8 trillion regions a year, is quite specialized and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 12,299 regions, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mattk's national animal is the black hawk.
Mattk is ranked 262,016th in the world and 8,018th in Suspicious for Highest Food Quality, scoring 7.13 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
