The People's Ambient Technocracy of Mathematania is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Calculo Calculi with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, unlimited-speed roads, and smutty television. The compassionate, cheerful population of 46.096 billion Mathematanians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mathematania City. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Mathematanian economy, worth a remarkable 9,766 trillion cpus a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 211,867 cpus, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Mathematania City State Museum is said to be haunted by ghastly musicians playing 'Nearer Violet to Thee', prisons in Mathematania are the summer homes of murderers, the government guarantees extra-soft tissues to fire-snorting elephants, and signs at the border tell international drivers where they can put their cars. Crime is totally unknown. Mathematania's national animal is the rainbow horned toad, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is aspirituality.

Mathematania is ranked 243^rd in the world and 4^th in the West Pacific for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 20,353.61 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
