The Programming Language of MATLAB is a mammoth, efficient nation, renowned for its parental licensing program, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.885 billion MATLABians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 77.0%.

The frighteningly efficient MATLABian economy, worth a remarkable 1,211 trillion manats a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 176,025 manats, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 503,253 per year while the poor average 49,042, a ratio of 10.3 to 1.

Military recruitment numbers are down as citizens object on 'moral grounds', a law degree is required before telling people not to drink and drive, it ain't easy to be green enough to be imported into MATLAB, and petting zoos have loose fingers strewn about. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. MATLAB's national animal is the swan, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

MATLAB is ranked 59,124^th in the world and 121^st in Koprulu Sector for Highest Poor Incomes, with 49,042.07 Standard Monetary Units.
