The Constitutional Republic of Masom is a massive, safe nation, ruled by President Henkel Verman with an iron fist, and renowned for its teetotalling pirates, ubiquitous missile silos, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.326 billion Masomians 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 enormous, moralistic, socially-minded government prioritizes Defense, although Administration, Law & Order, and Education are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Canneve. The average income tax rate is 70.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Masomian economy, worth 47.6 trillion Masomian Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 35,908 Masomian Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Patriotic citizens chant "there's only one Masom" at foreigners, politicians that report exaggerated crowd sizes for their speeches are dismissed for being delusional, confessions don't count if suffixed with "izzle", and blue bloods are welcome in Masom. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Masom's national animal is the Black Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Secular Multiculturalism.

Masom is ranked 182,597^th in the world and 34^th in Atlantis for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 72.65 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
