The Republic of Matzerati13 is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic, devout population of 337 million Matzerati13ians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Education. The average income tax rate is 53.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but inefficient Matzerati13ian economy, worth 16.1 trillion francs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 47,798 francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
When flight control tells pilots to alter course the usual reply is "No, YOU move!", Matzerati13ian Standard Vodka is the only drink that bars stock, the automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts, and Matzerati13 has designated Matzerati13 City as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Matzerati13's national animal is the parrot.
Matzerati13 is ranked 176,518th in the world and 2,400th in Artificial Solar System for Highest Food Quality, scoring 13.5 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
