The Republic of Old Masters is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, suspicion of poets, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 10.634 billion Old Mastersians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.
The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.7%.
The strong Old Mastersian economy, worth 498 trillion gergers a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 46,901 gergers, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 272,368 per year while the poor average 3,826, a ratio of 71.2 to 1.
Foreign musicians that Leader dislikes are turned away at the border, all statues and paintings of dogs are being destroyed to avoid offending cat-lovers, the reams of paperwork accompanying any electronic item are a recognised contributor to national deforestation, and many Old Mastersians twitch nervously at the sight of nuns. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Old Masters's national animal is the ergerger, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
Old Masters is ranked 214,978th in the world and 8,135th in Balder for Most Beautiful Environments, with 449.06 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
