The Commonwealth of MathisB is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its daily referendums, irreverence towards religion, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 961 million MathisBians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.0%.

The frighteningly efficient MathisBian economy, worth 97.7 trillion guilders a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 101,700 guilders, with the richest citizens earning 5.5 times as much as the poorest.

The bonfire of the old paper records can be seen for miles around MathisB City, supervisors in MathisB commonly tie bells on their necks to alert employees of their presence, more and more musicians are refusing to put labels on their sound, and teens are voting on which C-List pop star will be next to be evicted from the opera house. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. MathisB's national animal is the squirrel, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

MathisB is ranked 57,164th in the world and 2nd in Surpridom of the Left for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 4,319.39 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
