The Socialist Republic of Maupedonia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Rienne with a fair hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, ban on automobiles, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic population of 10.842 billion Maupedonians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dovington. The average income tax rate is 95.4%.
The powerhouse Maupedonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,177 trillion innends a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 108,644 innends, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Populations of two-headed doves have been found around recently-uncovered archaeological sites, government negotiators never forget to say "pretty please" when begging for custody of its criminals, attendance of fathers at PTA meetings is at an all-time high, and it is illegal for police officers to carry out searches due to strict privacy laws. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Maupedonia's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Maupedonia is ranked 284,258th in the world and 182nd in Democratic Socialist Assembly for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -14.42 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
