The Federal Republic of Massaaraloo is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Massaaraloo Parliament with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, otherworldly petting zoo, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.418 billion Massaaralooans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Massaaraloo City. The average income tax rate is 75.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Massaaralooan economy, worth 381 trillion Massaaraloo Dollars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 111,669 Massaaraloo Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Street preachers spend more time condemning government bureaucracy than passers-by, millions are awarded in damages for bad haircuts, a ban on robots in disguise has transformed the entertainment industry, and citizens try to pass off bottlecaps they found in their backyards as historical artifacts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Massaaraloo's national animal is the Bald Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Atheism.

Massaaraloo is ranked 139,359^th in the world and 1,186^th in The East Pacific for Largest Populations, with 3.42 billion capita.
