The Republic of The Matheo is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its burgeoning lion population. The hard-working, democratic population of 3.156 billion Matheoans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Spirituality. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.8%.

The very strong Matheoan economy, worth 239 trillion pounds a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Average income is 75,906 pounds, with the richest citizens earning 9.4 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The Matheo's national animal is the lion.

The Matheo is ranked 208,537^th in the world and 8,213^th in Balder for Safest, scoring 34.93 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
