The United Provinces of Mathorn is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by President Zoe Sharp with an even hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, unlimited-speed roads, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 17.988 billion Mathornians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The tiny, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Polaris. The average income tax rate is 7.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Mathornian economy, worth a remarkable 4,832 trillion Mathorcs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 268,659 Mathorcs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has instituted 'traveller reservations' across the country, billions of Mathorcs are spent to take high-quality photos of the Bear Nebula, public hospital staff roll their eyes at anything less than a heart attack, and strategic bombers are being converted into preschools. Crime is relatively low. Mathorn's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mathorn is ranked 80,577^th in the world and 11^th in CISB Reforged for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 2,218.33 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
