The Most Catholic Empire of Maltropia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by King Brendan Ua Chorcaigh with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 35.363 billion Maltropians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Newmarsh. The average income tax rate is 24.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Maltropian economy, worth a remarkable 3,441 trillion ducats a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Pizza Delivery, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 97,314 ducats, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens are regularly found digging for treasure in their gardens, voting is voluntary, tourists are forbidden to enter Native Maltropian lands, and census workers struggle to account for the rapidly increasing number of citizens to tabulate. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Maltropia's national animal is the snapping turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Maltropia is ranked 152,366th in the world and 2nd in Paradoxia for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring 71.32 on the Hayek Index.
