The Colony of MTARES33 is a gargantuan, genial nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The democratic population of 12.704 billion MTARES33ians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 16.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient MTARES33ian economy, worth 485 trillion Citas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 38,191 Citas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. MTARES33's national animal is the Vippertooth Dragon.

MTARES33 is ranked 149,700^th in the world and 1^st in Mariner Trench Army Reserves for Lowest Crime Rates, with 61.04 law-abiding acts per hour.
