The Dictatorship of Majuria is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Farouk with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, compulsory military service, and digital currency. The compassionate, devout population of 14.323 billion Majurians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Section 8. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Majurian economy, worth a remarkable 2,553 trillion Taris a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 178,246 Taris, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes, every workday begins with group therapy, vegetables are crisper thanks to CRISPR, and urban parents tell their children that the family car went to a farm upstate. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Majuria's national animal is the Beaver, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Majuria is ranked 294,558th in the world and 3,899th in the West Pacific for Highest Disposable Incomes, with zero Standard Monetary Units.
