The Principality of Mauerland is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Yrene Fletcher with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, digital currency, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate population of 13.734 billion Maurländer are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Königsberg. The average income tax rate is 98.9%.
The frighteningly efficient Maurländer economy, worth a remarkable 2,901 trillion Kroner a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 211,298 Kroner, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
There is a growing belief that consciousness is a simulated illusion within a computer-generated reality, Yrene Fletcher is considering changing the Maurländer flag to one with more glitter, frat-house partying has become the national pastime, and military minds worry that 'the blue screen of death' on brand new operating systems may be a literal description. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mauerland's national animal is the Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Maurländer Folk Pantheons.
Mauerland is ranked 239,735th in the world and 1st in Astewyn for Most Stationary, with 22.04423589168 days.
