The Municipality of Maputo is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Leader with a fair hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, sprawling nuclear power plants, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 35.824 billion Maputoans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Maputo. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Maputoan economy, worth a remarkable 6,224 trillion meticals a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Soda Sales, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 173,759 meticals, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 528,386 per year while the poor average 44,376, a ratio of 11.9 to 1.

New funding allows inner city teachers to replace school laptops almost as fast as they get stolen, construction of the Really Big Hadron Collider is underway, the "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Maputo Times is sold out, and meat-eating is frowned upon. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Maputo's national animal is the lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Maputo is ranked 4,052^nd in the world and 3^rd in South Pacific for Fattest Citizens, with 30.35 Obesity Rate.
