The Dictatorship of Masuria Fluriba Imperiba is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Adolphus Tyranius Maximus with an iron fist, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.212 billion are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Public Transport. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Masuria oh Masuria. The average income tax rate is 29%, but much higher for the wealthy. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Organ donation is compulsory, X-Files ratings have hit an all-time low, strange looking men with big red noses are found hiding behind bushes and inside dustbins, and the tenet of free speech is held dear. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Masuria Fluriba Imperiba's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the MCU.

Masuria Fluriba Imperiba is ranked 20th in Ireland and 74,049th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -15 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
