The compassionate, democratic population of 1.405 billion Maenis 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 powerhouse Maenian economy, worth 111 trillion Fogos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 79,559 Fogos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens are encouraged to report friends, family members or co-workers who seem depressed to the government for "counselling", contestants on Maen's Got Talent are screened by the government to make sure that they actually have talent, radiation is a hot topic, and the government has adopted a "Lightning Never Strikes Twice" approach to dealing with natural disasters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Maen's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
