The People's Ambient Technocracy of Mathematania is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Calculo Calculi with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, hatred of cheese, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, cheerful population of 40.729 billion Mathematanians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mathematania City. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Mathematanian economy, worth a remarkable 8,285 trillion cpus a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Book Publishing industry. Average income is an amazing 203,435 cpus, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

RPG fans reminisce fondly about when people thought they were evil and dangerous rather than geeky and socially inept, high school boys are required to pass vigorous self-mastery and sensitivity training to graduate, children are brainwashed at a young age to accept "love and peace!" as a way of life, and census workers struggle to account for the rapidly increasing number of citizens to tabulate. Crime is totally unknown. Mathematania's national animal is the rainbow horned toad, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is aspirituality.

Mathematania is ranked 8,600^th in the world and 135^th in the West Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 104 law-abiding acts per hour.
