The State of Mahaj is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by The Maharaj with an even hand, and notable for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, hard-working population of 7.522 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Commerce, and Law & Order. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mahar. The average income tax rate is 68%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Tourism industry, followed by Information Technology and Book Publishing.

Universities are populated by the spawn of the upper classes, the nation is reliant on the principle of mutually assured destruction to maintain its security, the nation's infamous boot camp is more brutal than most battlefields, and 'A is for Annulment' is a popular children's song. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling. Mahaj's national animal is the tiger, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Maahugj Religion, and its currency is the ele.

Mahaj is ranked 9th in The South and 13,457th in the world for Largest Public Sector, scoring 20 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
