The Socialist federation of Mattijana is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Mattias burgm I with a fair hand, and remarkable for its avant-garde cinema, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 14.62 billion Mattijanans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Petrovijanka. The average income tax rate is 76.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Mattijanan economy, worth a remarkable 1,958 trillion Espoes a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 133,971 Espoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The country is rumored to be a Brancalandian puppet state, video evidence of cruel animal experiments tends to be of poor quality, fashion models are guaranteed to be 100% genuinely as anorexic as they appear on magazine covers, and there's a lot of babies crying for milk in the middle of the day. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mattijana's national animal is the Alpine marmot, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Jelenara.

Mattijana is ranked 155,455^th in the world and 63^rd in Esportiva for Rudest Citizens, with 36.6 Insults Per Minute.
