The Illuminated Autocracy of Max Empire is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Max the wearer-of-many-crowns with an iron fist, and notable for its pith helmet sales, compulsory military service, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 27.72 billion Maxians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Industry, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Maxopolis. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.
The frighteningly efficient Maxian economy, worth an astonishing 16,700 trillion Maxian Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is a breathtaking 602,459 Maxian Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.
Governments opposing Max Empire are beset by rebels, being sent to collections is more dangerous than ever, new research always seems to support government initiatives, and urban entrepreneurs are busy introducing cockroaches into restaurant kitchens. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Max Empire's national animal is the Maxian bird, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Maxism.
Max Empire is ranked 292,878th in the world and 2nd in Phoenix Coalition for Nicest Citizens, with 0.12 average smiles per day.
