The Consolidated Technocracy of Matonis is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by First Administrator with an iron fist, and notable for its parental licensing program, state-planned economy, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 17.348 billion Matonisans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Insight Academy. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Matonisan economy, worth a remarkable 6,458 trillion marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 372,302 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Starving citizens are offered nuclear pasta, 10-year-olds who struggle with integrating by parts are considered slow learners, conspiracy theorists allege that the government is spying on them through their carbon monoxide detectors, and students are taught to count with all 9 fingers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Matonis's national animal is the parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Matonis is ranked 186,695th in the world and 10,039th in Balder for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 812.56 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
