The Great Green Nation of Mahopac is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Jon Penguin with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 2.155 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Education, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Law & Order receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mahopac City. The average income tax rate is 39%, but much higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

The people of Mahopac are renowned for their nihilistic attitudes, a niche industry catering to S&M enthusiasts has sprung up, roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews, and the nation's favourite colour is green (Mahopac has found 1 easter egg). Crime -- especially youth-related -- is a serious problem, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Mahopac's national animal is the Moose, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Genesian Credit.

Mahopac is ranked 49th in The Genesis Corporation and 31,939th in the world for Most Influential, scoring 17 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
