The Republic of Maphia is a colossal, cultured nation, notable for its deadly medical pandemics, public floggings, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 6.478 billion Maphians 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 minute, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, with Defense also on the agenda, while Education and Law & Order aren't funded at all. Income tax is unheard of.
The frighteningly efficient Maphian economy, worth a remarkable 1,938 trillion currencies a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 299,267 currencies, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,796,133 per year while the poor average 2,780, a ratio of 1,005 to 1.
Children regularly take part in blood sports that result in extreme boo-boos, cyber-crime and tin-foil hat sales are both increasing at record rates, the judicial branch is strongly influenced by major corporations, and graffiti graces every city's streets. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Maphia's national animal is the animal, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Maphia is ranked 196,546th in the world and 46th in Vickenian experiment incubator for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -3.13 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
