The Confederacy of Maximas is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 740 million Maximasians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bit city. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Maximasian economy, worth 75.7 trillion bitcoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 102,347 bitcoins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 359,110 per year while the poor average 21,159, a ratio of 17.0 to 1.

Tantrum-throwing toddlers are regularly imprisoned on assault charges, business is adjusting to new gender equality policies in the workplace, small businesses are gobbled up almost daily by corporate giants, and pareidolic SETI scientists swear there's a message from aliens hidden within pi. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Maximas's national animal is the porcupine, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Maximas is ranked 242,667^th in the world and 4,792^nd in The East Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 54.61 law-abiding acts per hour.
