The Oriental Christian Theocracy of New Massachusett is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Yumemi Okazaki with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, sprawling nuclear power plants, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.414 billion Bay Staters are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Springfield MA. The average income tax rate is 90.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The very strong New Massachusettian economy, worth 294 trillion hugs and cheeses 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 a large, well-organized, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Cheese Exports, and Basket Weaving. 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 86,169 hugs and cheeses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Maxtopian villagers starve by the time New Massachusettian officials even file the appropriate paperwork needed to help them, the line of people waiting for a visa interview in front of foreign embassies is typically a mile long, suburban backyards are seized by the government and turned into national parks, and volunteers are signing up to take arms against an incursion of flesh-eating zombies (New Massachusett has found 1 easter egg). Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Massachusett's national animal is the Chickadee, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Christianity.
New Massachusett is ranked 26,965th in the world and 1st in True Waskaria for Most Extreme, scoring 42.18 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
