The Constitutional Monarchy of Maztetrua is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 10.312 billion Maztetruans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 73.2%.
The frighteningly efficient Maztetruan economy, worth a remarkable 2,547 trillion Pesos 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, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. 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 amazing 247,006 Pesos, with the richest citizens earning 5.2 times as much as the poorest.
Teachers are dying as they attempt to read 500 word essays without pausing for breath, power to the people comes from the barrel of a gun, organ donation is compulsory, and a blood-red mark on the doorframe means a building must be passed over for destruction. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Maztetrua's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.
Maztetrua is ranked 22,740th in the world and 1,529th in Lazarus for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 66,197.78 Standard Monetary Units.
