The Enemy Turned Lover of Mayadere is a mammoth, orderly nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, pith helmet sales, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 9.484 billion Mayadereans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 60.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Mayaderean economy, worth 913 trillion guilders a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Automobile Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 96,283 guilders, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

Army uniforms are replaced en masse to accommodate adult soldiers, popular cartoon characters frequently appear in government-sponsored PSAs reminding students to say no to drugs, six-year-old children playing dress-up are viewed with suspicion, and the government is under the thumb of countless special interests. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mayadere's national animal is the unicorn, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Mayadere is ranked 19,009^th in the world and 2^nd in Arrakai for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 3,310.59 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
