The Confederacy of Maximas is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its avant-garde cinema, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 788 million Maximasians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bit city. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Maximasian economy, worth 83.1 trillion bitcoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Gambling, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 105,405 bitcoins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 369,841 per year while the poor average 21,792, a ratio of 17.0 to 1.

Tantrum-throwing toddlers are regularly imprisoned on assault charges, business is adjusting to new gender equality policies in the workplace, small businesses are gobbled up almost daily by corporate giants, and pareidolic SETI scientists swear there's a message from aliens hidden within pi. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Maximas's national animal is the porcupine, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Maximas is ranked 48,295^th in the world and 887^th in The East Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,886.55 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
