The Tyrannical Regime of The Mazur Empire is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Supreme Emperor Balin with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, flagrant waste-dumping, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 3.393 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 8.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Mazur Imperian economy, worth 606 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 178,767 Imperial Credits, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 646,462 per year while the poor average 35,279, a ratio of 18.3 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 30,174^th in the world and 1,682^nd in The North Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 4,123.54 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
