The Commonvvealth of Mafsachufetts Bay is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Governor Thorpe with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, prohibition of alcohol, and flagrant waste-dumping. The democratic, devout population of 6.74 billion Maſsachuſites enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Boston. The average income tax rate is 86.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Maſsachuſettsian economy, worth 682 trillion Maſsachuſetts dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 101,190 Maſsachuſetts dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Most of the military's funding goes into researching space-age weaponry, when shaking hands with foreign leaders Governor Thorpe wears an armoured gauntlet, main battle tanks stalk the woods of Mafsachufetts Bay in search of Morgan horses, and a stitch in time could see you serving nine. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mafsachufetts Bay's national animal is the Morgan horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Puritanism.

Mafsachufetts Bay is ranked 12,636^th in the world and 15^th in Aesica for Most Developed, scoring 89.24 on the Human Development Index.
