The Great Socialist Jamahiriya of Masentur is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by General Muhammed Esu Minyar Al-Saryaff with an iron fist, and notable for its pith helmet sales, unlimited-speed roads, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 26.244 billion Masyrians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Esu-Yaram. The average income tax rate is 71.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Masyrian economy, worth a remarkable 3,168 trillion Dinars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 120,723 Dinars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government regrets to say that it is forced to make cuts to citizens, Masyrian watches are often the only thing to survive a disaster intact, people are always complaining about dam builders running behind schedule, and parents seeking custody have to write a five-thousand word analysis of their child's imaginary friend. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Masentur's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Sunni Islam.

Masentur is ranked 30,211^th in the world and 1,079^th in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 82.6 law-abiding acts per hour.
