The Federated Capitalist States of Southern Maus is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by President Rose with a fair hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, free-roaming dinosaurs, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 4.216 billion Mausans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, corrupt, liberal, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, with Environment and Law & Order not funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Maus City. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Southern Mausan economy, worth a remarkable 1,218 trillion bitcoins a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Gambling, and Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 288,921 bitcoins, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,357,176 per year while the poor average 7,666, a ratio of 307 to 1.

A suspicious number of male students have joined the Ladies' Wrestling League, the government loves seeing the little people fight, the optimally efficient parking strategy for business commuters is referred to as the "traveling salesman problem", and citizens are regularly found digging for treasure in their gardens. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Southern Maus's national animal is the giraffe, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is The Rat Race.

Southern Maus is ranked 268,479th in the world and 1,400th in Europe for Most Conservative, scoring 22.25 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
