The Republic of Mathopo is a mammoth, genial nation, notable for its burgeoning swan population. The hard-working population of 7.002 billion Mathopoans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 17.2%.

The Mathopoan economy, worth 370 trillion bitcoins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Automobile Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is 52,930 bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low. Mathopo's national animal is the swan.

Mathopo is ranked 162,364^th in the world and 6,703^rd in Osiris for Most Cultured, scoring 64 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
