The Federation of New Maxta is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Vycar Darkfire with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory vegetarianism, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 21.603 billion New Maxtans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Maxtopolis. The average income tax rate is 90.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient New Maxtan economy, worth a remarkable 2,999 trillion Maxxens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 138,862 Maxxens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

High school bands practice by moonlight, banning party poppers has been a real party pooper, glittering new sports stadiums adorn every city and town, and nature magazines featuring stick insects on their covers are sometimes mistaken for fashion magazines. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. New Maxta's national animal is the Bull Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

New Maxta is ranked 281,784^th in the world and 3,663^rd in the South Pacific for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring -7.21 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
