The United Socialist States of Masarchta is a huge, genial nation, notable for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate population of 310 million Masarchtans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 65.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Masarchtan economy, worth 14.6 trillion Tickets a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 47,117 Tickets, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Fur coats have become the latest fashion trend, Leader's new door-knocking campaign has the sweet taste of success, everybody's got wood thanks to Leader, and stranded mountaineers can watch livestreamed footage of their rescues. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Masarchta's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Masarchta is ranked 188,837^th in the world and 3,257^th in the South Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 50 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
