The Rogue Nation of Mavor

“Such is life in Mavor”

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

The Rogue Nation of Mavor is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by The Father with an iron fist, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, ubiquitous missile silos, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 23.959 billion Mavorians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Administration are also considered important, while Social Policy and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Martinet. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 63.6%.

The powerhouse Mavorian economy, worth a remarkable 3,943 trillion mavori dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Pizza Delivery, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 164,611 mavori dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 809,741 per year while the poor average 19,109, a ratio of 42.4 to 1.

Twins move across the country to avoid being accused of the other's crimes, the navy is hoping to hear the enemy shout "you sank my battleship!", enemy agents are generally eliminated with extreme prejudice, and Mavorians are wondering where have all the flowers gone. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Mavor's national animal is the vole, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Mavor is ranked 37,890^th in the world and 8^th in Union of Free Nations for Lowest Crime Rates, with 78.58 law-abiding acts per hour.
