The Ancient State of Matryn is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by H E John Hiddlespot with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, free-roaming dinosaurs, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, cheerful population of 30.602 billion Trynians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Law & Order, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ryatt. The average income tax rate is 60.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Matrynian economy, worth a remarkable 6,607 trillion Maphens a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 215,909 Maphens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Skateparks can be found in every city, doctors are encouraged to 'pull the plug' any time the government has a budget crisis, local mafias have a tough time disposing of dead snitches without catching the attention of recycling authorities, and X-Files ratings have hit an all-time low. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Matryn's national animal is the Meer Kat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Matryn is ranked 1,735^th in the world and 50^th in Osiris for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 32,061.39 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
