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

The Armed Republic of Maott is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Emperor with an even hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, national health service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 36.005 billion Maottians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yoomi. The average income tax rate is 99.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Maottian economy, worth a remarkable 7,217 trillion Credits a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 200,444 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Treason is relative, airport announcements inform passengers that flights have been delayed because pilots are having afternoon naps, East Lebatuckese astronauts' favorite game during downtime on the Multinational Space Station is 'I Spy', and government officials sit helplessly as they are labelled 'Pompous Womples' by celebrities. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Maott's national animal is the Kestral, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is whatever people want to have faith in.

Maott is ranked 219,744^th in the world and 9,968^th in The North Pacific for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring -1027.49 on the Hayek Index.
