The Free Cities and Counties of Maximula is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Iain Roberts IV with an even hand, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, devout population of 4.855 billion Maximulians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The relatively small 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 33.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Maximulan economy, worth 622 trillion Gold Eagles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 128,175 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, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Reformed Christianity.

Maximula is ranked 121,597^th in the world and 4,677^th in Balder for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 1,647.62 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
