The Former Slovenian region of Matraunk is a colossal, cultured nation, renowned for its hatred of cheese. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 6.424 billion 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Equality, and Healthcare. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

Crowds of flag-burning protesters tend to accidentally become crowds of burning protesters, people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, corporations donate huge sums of money to favored politicians, and protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Matraunk's national animal is the bozji medved, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the tolarius.

Matraunk is ranked 116th in European Union and 101,094th in the world for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -11 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
