The Assembly and Demos of Madrocea is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by President Carol Trajan with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 28.707 billion Madroceans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The tiny, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cardalia. The average income tax rate is 3.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Madrocean economy, worth a remarkable 6,350 trillion Atlantean Drachmas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 221,200 Atlantean Drachmas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Short shrift is being given to applications for political asylum from illegal immigrants, you're never too young to learn how to lie with confidence, young children are learning advanced physics to scientifically disprove the existence of Santa Claus, and new pilots are regularly reminded that they are more expendable than their planes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Madrocea's national animal is the Raven, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Madrocea is ranked 71,961^st in the world and 11^th in Atlantis for Lowest Crime Rates, with 69.78 law-abiding acts per hour.
