The Most Serene Republic of Matolinos is a colossal, cultured nation, remarkable for its strictly enforced bedtime, ritual sacrifices, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.433 billion Matolinosians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 21.7%.
The powerhouse Matolinosian economy, worth 543 trillion yen a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Gambling. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 84,502 yen, with the richest citizens earning 6.0 times as much as the poorest.
Mining is the nation's most dangerous occupation, giggling elementary school newspaper reporters want to know why Leader is a silly poophead, school cafeterias serve nothing but protein powder and vitamin supplements, and greenhouses are regularly raided by the police. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem. Matolinos's national animal is the horse, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Matolinos is ranked 252,524th in the world and 1,025th in Jihad Army of the Emperor for Lowest Crime Rates, with 50.83 law-abiding acts per hour.
