The Republic of MTFC is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its prohibition of alcohol, compulsory military service, and parental licensing program. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 2.494 billion MTFCians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 66.6%.

The frighteningly efficient MTFCian economy, worth 287 trillion rubles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 115,190 rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Employees who skip lunch to avoid sub-par cafeteria food risk getting fired, unemployed mercenaries drift the country looking for new careers, the easiest method of escaping from prison is to take singing lessons, and young soldiers are shocked to discover there are no 'safe spaces' on a battlefield. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. MTFC's national animal is the kiwi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

MTFC is ranked 46,986th in the world and 2,072nd in Lazarus for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 190.37 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
