The Most Catholic Empire of Maltropia is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by King Brendan Ua Chorcaigh with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, unlimited-speed roads, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 30.489 billion Maltropians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
The relatively small, 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 18.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The all-consuming Maltropian economy, worth a remarkable 3,110 trillion ducats a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 102,033 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 13,456th in the world and 1st in Paradoxia for Most Cultured, scoring 105 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
