The Community of Mathler is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its frequent executions, avant-garde cinema, and prohibition of alcohol. The compassionate, cynical population of 622 million Mathlerians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aryanagar. The average income tax rate is 69.9%.

The thriving Mathlerian economy, worth 58.1 trillion Dinars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 93,466 Dinars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Legislators toe the party line lest the Sergeant-at-Arms decide to conduct "truncheon practice" on the backbench, the diplomatic corps tends to open negotiations by insulting all the foreigners in the room, Super Barry Brothers is the most popular video game in the nation, and pareidolic SETI scientists swear there's a message from aliens hidden within pi. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mathler's national animal is the Garuda, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mathler is ranked 64,774^th in the world and 66^th in Karma for Most Developed, scoring 72.59 on the Human Development Index.
