The Constitutional Monarchy of Maztetrua is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its public floggings, keen interest in outer space, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.491 billion Maztetruans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 63.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Maztetruan economy, worth 384 trillion Pesos a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 110,075 Pesos, with the richest citizens earning 6.9 times as much as the poorest.

The contraband cigarette trade is lighting up across Maztetrua, many marriages go virtually unconsummated, nude art is becoming wildly popular, and engineers are reinventing the wheel. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Maztetrua's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Maztetrua is ranked 9,096^th in the world and 269^th in The East Pacific for Largest Black Market, with 127 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
