The Queen's State of Madusa is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 38.224 billion Madusans are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.
The relatively small, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.9%.
The all-consuming Madusan economy, worth a remarkable 2,347 trillion betales a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 61,416 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 210,704 per year while the poor average 13,138, a ratio of 16.0 to 1.
Young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables, torture is illegal, all tariffs have been abolished, and the tenet of free speech is held dear. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem. Madusa's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Madusa is ranked 37,540th in the world and 78th in United States of America for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 6,249.88 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
