The Tyrannical Regime of The Mazur Empire is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Supreme Emperor Balin with an iron fist, and notable for its enslaved workforce, smutty television, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 3.927 billion Mazur Imperians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Mazur Imperium City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Mazur Imperian economy, worth 707 trillion Imperial Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 180,107 Imperial Credits, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 635,282 per year while the poor average 36,937, a ratio of 17.2 to 1.

The government is encouraging violence on television, nose plugs are the latest Mazur Imperian fashion accessory, military equipment stores have a tendency to go up in flames, and nuclear reactors are held together with party string and Hubba Bubba. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. The Mazur Empire's national animal is the Black Mamba, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Order of Mazur.

The Mazur Empire is ranked 139,333^rd in the world and 6,905^th in The North Pacific for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 19.21 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
