The Incorporated States of Mafifosco is a very large, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service, absence of drug laws, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 275 million Mafia flags are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.6%.

The all-consuming Mafifoscoan economy, worth 26.8 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Pizza Delivery, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 97,377 Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 310,709 per year while the poor average 23,200, a ratio of 13.4 to 1.

Governments opposing Mafifosco are beset by rebels, murder rates are on the rise as the popularity of soylent products grows, exiles see that the line where the sky meets the sea is just clouds and rain, and cricket farmers use magnifying glasses to fit every member of their herd with tiny tracking tags. Crime is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Mafifosco's national animal is the Basilisk, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Mafifosco is ranked 229,267^th in the world and 19^th in The Axis of Evil for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -5.67 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
