The Federal Republic of Matheuseland is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its national health service, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 357 million Mathlers have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fzae. The average income tax rate is 66.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Mathler economy, worth 37.1 trillion Nafelgs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 103,875 Nafelgs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prison officers are bribed not to take bribes, Mathler military drills look more like joint-Western Antartica exercises than anything else, Maxtopian tourists make expensive pilgrimages to Fzae to enjoy their national art, and pausing for applause during a speech is seen as a form of censorship. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Matheuseland's national animal is the mafagafo.

Matheuseland is ranked 120,809^th in the world and 1^st in Western Antartica for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 4,757.28 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
