The Civilisation Game of Mastodonia is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Shepard Blaine with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, national health service, and prohibition of alcohol. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 5.478 billion Mastodonians 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 enormous, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Environment, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The City. The average income tax rate is 98.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Mastodonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,041 trillion Postagestamps a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 190,129 Postagestamps, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Restaurants are required to specify whether their toilet paper was made in Mastodonia, mournful opera fans place bouquets of roses at a 3000 capacity parking lot, you're never too young to learn how to lie with confidence, and lawyers are ordering red ink and 'Cease and Desist' rubber stamps in preparation for the return of copyright law. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mastodonia's national animal is the mastodon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Project Pope.

Mastodonia is ranked 238,684^th in the world and 1,146^th in 10000 Islands for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -19.67 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
