The Constitutional Monarchy of Maztetrua is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, unlimited-speed roads, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 10.396 billion Maztetruans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 73.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Maztetruan economy, worth a remarkable 2,567 trillion Pesos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 246,954 Pesos, with the richest citizens earning 5.2 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians and casino owners who so much as wander into the same room are arrested on the spot, over a third of the seats in sports stadiums have been removed to make room for female-only commodes, smoking is banned in public areas, and shady doctors seem to have impeccable records. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Maztetrua's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Maztetrua is ranked 279,305th in the world and 10,477th in Lazarus for Safest, scoring 5.61 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
