The Kingdom of Matukio is a very large, cultured nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons, pith helmet sales, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed population of 346 million Matukioans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pamnia. The average income tax rate is 51.5%.

The strong Matukioan economy, worth 19.9 trillion Leaves a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Tourism, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 57,486 Leaves, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

The latest political memes depict Leader as an overly-choreographed robot, gardeners must genetically test weeds for unique traits before digging them up, enthusiasm for abstract art has gone up in smoke, and the central government is trying to keep things flowing. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Matukio's national animal is the Wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Matukio is ranked 55,299^th in the world and 1,019^th in the South Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 71 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
