The Former Slovenian region of Matraunk is a colossal, economically powerful nation, renowned for its restrictive gun laws. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 5.802 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large 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.

It is illegal for police officers to carry out searches due to strict privacy laws, procrastination is a national sport, 'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Matraunk's radio stations, and military funding has been stripped back. 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 92nd in European Union and 67,892nd in the world for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring -7 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
