The Stonewalled Citadel of Mafsachufetts Bay is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Sovereign Celestine with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, infamous sell-swords, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.824 billion Maſsachuſites are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Spirituality, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Boston. The average income tax rate is 76.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Maſsachuſettsian economy, worth 60.0 trillion Maſsachuſetts pounds a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 32,887 Maſsachuſetts pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Orphanages are closing their doors as the government forces parents to actually raise their children, a new guerrilla marketing campaign for tap water involves government agents spraying random citizens with hose water, the Maſsachuſettsian Arts Council pays teenagers to sit through opera performances, and the country's population is reported with a margin of error of several billions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mafsachufetts Bay's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mafsachufetts Bay is ranked 195,197^th in the world and 256^th in Thaecia for Most Armed, with 0.22 Weapons Per Person.
