OverviewPoliciesPeopleGovernmentEconomyRankTrendCards

The Ancient State of Matryn is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by H E John Hiddlespot with an even hand, and notable for its national health service, free-roaming dinosaurs, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful population of 30.488 billion Trynians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Law & Order, and Environment are also considered important, while Spirituality and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ryatt. The average income tax rate is 60.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Matrynian economy, worth a remarkable 6,582 trillion Maphens a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 215,909 Maphens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Skateparks can be found in every city, doctors are encouraged to 'pull the plug' any time the government has a budget crisis, local mafias have a tough time disposing of dead snitches without catching the attention of recycling authorities, and X-Files ratings have hit an all-time low. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Matryn's national animal is the Meer Kat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Matryn is ranked 210,196th in the world and 3,893rd in The North Pacific for Most Stationary, with 37.1988998038 days.
