The Kingdom of Mahishmati is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Amarendra Baahubali with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 5.316 billion Mahishmatians 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, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ujjaini. The average income tax rate is 85.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Mahishmatian economy, worth 807 trillion Puranas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 151,815 Puranas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Former planespotters are dusting off long-abandoned anoraks, harassed women are constantly hassled by guys who are "just giving them compliments", the dartboard at the Mahishmatian Cancer Research Charity bears a picture of Amarendra Baahubali's face, and signs at the border tell international drivers where they can put their cars. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mahishmati's national animal is the Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Shaivism.

Mahishmati is ranked 285,904th in the world and 9,757th in Balder for Fattest Citizens, with 5.58 Obesity Rate.
