The Incorporated States of Maskellvania is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Mr Maskell with an iron fist, and renowned for its teetotalling pirates, enslaved workforce, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 19.761 billion Maskellvanians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order and Industry also on the agenda, while Environment and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Corporate City of Money. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 69.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Maskellvanian economy, worth an astonishing 11,583 trillion Beers a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Retail, Uranium Mining, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is a breathtaking 586,156 Beers, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,526,429 per year while the poor average 43,937, a ratio of 80.3 to 1.

Labour strikes are routinely squashed by police, the government is keeping a watch on all seeing eyes, the lives of former ski town residents are going downhill, and gossip magazines are more interested in astrological stars than celebrity ones. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Maskellvania's national animal is the Bundy Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Maskellism.

Maskellvania is ranked 19,806^th in the world and 644^th in Osiris for Largest Populations, with 19.8 billion capita.
