The Colony of D J Maduro is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 676 million D J Maduroans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 48.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant D J Maduroan economy, worth 5.00 trillion aurums a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Uranium Mining, Pizza Delivery, Furniture Restoration, and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 7,389 aurums, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Genetic researchers have been expelled, the death penalty has been reintroduced, citizens select which government department gets their income tax aurums each year, and a valid legal defense is 'dead men tell no tales'. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. D J Maduro's national animal is the bovina.

D J Maduro is ranked 173,798th in the world and 4th in Zong Guo for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 178.38 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
