The Empire of Maulm is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Scribus Maximus with a fair hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 20.105 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Commerce, Education, and Defence. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Maulm City. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, followed by Book Publishing and Gambling.

Conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings, protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations, anti-government web sites are springing up, and cheese has become the new icon of political dissent. Crime is totally unknown. Maulm's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the gold piece.

Maulm is ranked 1st in Asmer and 407th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 16 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
