The Highly Armed Republic of MadBadgerStan is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The right honorable Matthew with an even hand, and renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, public floggings, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 17.311 billion MadBadgerStanians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Croydon. The average income tax rate is 89.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient MadBadgerStanian economy, worth a remarkable 3,582 trillion Pounds a year, is highly specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 206,926 Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People stand their fridges back-to-front to benefit from the free heating, commuters travel in zigzags to avoid stalking accusations, The right honorable Matthew is frequently seen begging critics to stop insulting the government, and molehills are the only mountains deemed safe enough for the public. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. MadBadgerStan's national animal is the Badger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

MadBadgerStan is ranked 307th in the world and 11th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 111.97 law-abiding acts per hour.
