The Holy Red Empire of Majassa is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Holy Emperor Veixe I with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, smutty television, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed population of 3.096 billion Majassans 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oxnvuri. The average income tax rate is 78.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Majassan economy, worth 416 trillion Asis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 134,403 Asis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Colonial citizens are forced to sing the praise of the "Great Majassan Liberator", an aboriginal talking stick is used for leaders' debates at election time, train stations can be 'armful places, and every spring railroad foundations erode to reveal human remains. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Majassa's national animal is the regent bowerbird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Calcism.

Majassa is ranked 14,664^th in the world and 1^st in Selene for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 106.22 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
