The Protectorate of New Maxta is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Vycar Darkfire with an even hand, and remarkable for its digital currency, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 16.467 billion New Maxtans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 79.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong New Maxtan economy, worth a remarkable 1,673 trillion Maxxens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 101,633 Maxxens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Park rangers perform full-body searches on suspected fungus smugglers, the government has instituted 'traveller reservations' across the country, family isn't who you're born with but who you abandon in foreign countries, and RPG fans reminisce fondly about when people thought they were evil and dangerous rather than geeky and socially inept. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Maxta's national animal is the Bull Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

New Maxta is ranked 9,824^th in the world and 217^th in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 101.42 law-abiding acts per hour.
