The Republic of Matzerati9 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its closed borders, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 1.696 billion Matzerati9ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 73.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Matzerati9ian economy, worth 124 trillion pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Tourism. Average income is 73,326 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is well recognised that you can't sustain communism without a bit of spirit, Matzerati9ian politicians are often described as having more style than substance, the "boy who cried wolf" policy makes sick people reluctant to call an ambulance, and young children are learning advanced physics to scientifically disprove the existence of Santa Claus. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Matzerati9's national animal is the kangaroo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Matzerati9 is ranked 152,696^th in the world and 1^st in Anterior department of the Wesley Region for Nudest, with 129.25 cheeks per square mile.
