The Empire of Madja as is a huge, safe nation, notable for its avant-garde cinema, keen interest in outer space, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 832 million Madja asians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Civitas Nobilis. The average income tax rate is 38.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Madja asian economy, worth 82.7 trillion Kwartas a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 99,400 Kwartas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The government is pouring money into 'Operation Enduring Democracy', local mafias have a tough time disposing of dead snitches without catching the attention of recycling authorities, military equipment stores have a tendency to go up in flames, and eerie glow-in-the-dark cornfields give farmlands an uncanny appearance. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Madja as's national animal is the Spotted deer, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Madja as is ranked 34,239^th in the world and 103^rd in Wintreath for Most Beautiful Environments, with 792.2 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
