The United Democracy of Matterland is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Xanderal with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, digital currency, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 24.369 billion Matterlandians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.
The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Solace. The average income tax rate is 98.0%.
The powerhouse Matterlandian economy, worth a remarkable 3,307 trillion Matts a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 135,728 Matts, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Visiting dignitaries often end up cuddling in the hot tub with Xanderal, election results are often delayed for weeks to count the expat votes, captains must wait until all rats are safe before jumping ship, and trade policy consists of ganging up on the new guy. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Matterland's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Matterland is ranked 5,920th in the world and 87th in 10000 Islands for Lowest Crime Rates, with 112.13 law-abiding acts per hour.
