The Dictatorship of Maxess is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its closed borders, free-roaming dinosaurs, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 1.388 billion Maxessians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 50.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Maxessian economy, worth 220 trillion obsidians a year, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 158,742 obsidians, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,441,388 per year while the poor average 2,021, a ratio of 713 to 1.

Talkative students are escorted from schools in second-hand prison buses, the nation honors the inventor of the three-wheeled steam-powered Maxessian weed picker, fathers are free to sell their daughters to whomever they choose, and breaking rocks in the hot sun now involves using your head. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force. Maxess's national animal is the gryphon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Maxess is ranked 180,648^th in the world and 16^th in The Slumber for Most Developed, scoring 54.03 on the Human Development Index.
