The Socialist federation of Mattijana is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Mattias burgm I with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, democratic population of 12.936 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 medium-sized, socially-minded 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 72.0%.

The thriving Mattijanan economy, worth a remarkable 1,720 trillion Espoes a year, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 132,996 Espoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

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 164,507^th in the world and 63^rd in Esportiva for Most Armed, with 0.14 Weapons Per Person.
