The Free Cities and Counties of Maximula is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Iain Roberts IV with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, unlimited-speed roads, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, devout population of 4.773 billion Maximulians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aberaeron. The average income tax rate is 34.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Maximulan economy, worth 600 trillion Gold Eagles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 125,834 Gold Eagles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military officials are questioning the policy of ceding the nation's territory in exchange for promises not to invade it, M-SPAN viewership drops as MPs act their age, virtual assistants are seen with increasing suspicion every time they get an upgrade, and the government loves seeing the little people fight. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Maximula's national animal is the Dragon and its national religion is Reformed Christianity.

Maximula is ranked 36,415^th in the world and 2,367^th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 79.43 law-abiding acts per hour.
