The Armed Republic of Maott is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor with an even hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, pith helmet sales, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 43.829 billion Maottians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yoomi. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Maottian economy, worth a remarkable 9,306 trillion Credits in twelve monthly payments a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 212,333 Credits in twelve monthly payments, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is continually probing the galaxy in search of alien life, Yoomi's back alleys are rife with sausage eating, citizens select which government department gets their income tax Credits in twelve monthly payments each year, and abortions are routinely performed in the nation's hospitals. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Maott's national animal is the Kestral, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is whatever people want to have faith in.

Maott is ranked 290,169^th in the world and 6,310^th in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -31.01 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
