The Outer Rim Community of Mastropa is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Speaker Meron Liopolt with a fair hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 17.746 billion Mimbourn Republicans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tsoulio. The average income tax rate is 71.9%.
The frighteningly efficient Mastropan economy, worth a remarkable 4,562 trillion verinul standards a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 257,107 verinul standards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.
Patriotic parents remind their children to drink plenty of water, the government is using tax revenues to provide jobs for the poor, banana distribution among collective farm workers is an important topic in public discourse, and the nation has always been at war with Bigtopia. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mastropa's national animal is the rahkghoul, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is the Mastropan Force Cult.
Mastropa is ranked 4,467th in the world and 1st in The Erviadus Galaxy for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 20,142.67 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
