The Republic of Matzerati13

“Mission Accomplished”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Republic of Matzerati13 is a huge, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, 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 51.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Matzerati13ian economy, worth 14.8 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 Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. Average income is 43,849 francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A murderous reputation can revitalise a flagging celebrity career, the tools of the trade for landmine clearance appear to be copious amounts of gasoline and a box of matches, deceased politicians' MyFace profiles are unanimously pro-incumbent, and Leader's support among single young men has drooped slightly. 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, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Matzerati13 is ranked 157,024^th in the world and 1,828^th in Artificial Solar System for Highest Food Quality, scoring 14.94 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
