The Anime queen of Maksta is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, infamous sell-swords, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.908 billion Makstans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 48.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but sluggish Makstan economy, worth 50.5 trillion lire a year, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Cheese Exports, and Gambling. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 26,444 lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Voter turnout for the election of the Junior Assistant for Non-Digital Media Strategies has been unsurprisingly low, half the Makstan Army consists of Brasilistani contractors, new legislators take a week-long class entitled "Keeping Your Job: How to Avoid Offending Leader", and parents ask their ten-year-olds for help with their government-mandated book reports. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Maksta's national animal is the wolf, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
Maksta is ranked 133,813th in the world and 3,598th in Alliance of Supreme Powers for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -1 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
