The State of Maika is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion. The democratic population of 11.811 billion Maikans 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 20.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Maikan economy, worth 546 trillion betales a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Furniture Restoration, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 46,264 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Mandatory neutering has made purebred dogs a thing of the past, organ donation rates have hit a new low, voting is voluntary, and scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Maika's national animal is the deer.

Maika is ranked 159,645^th in the world and 2^nd in Halifax for Lowest Crime Rates, with 60.18 law-abiding acts per hour.
