The Queendom of Matsuri Kazamaki is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Matsuri Darklight with a fair hand, and renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, hatred of cheese, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 2.506 billion Matsuris love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yggdrasil. The average income tax rate is 96.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Matsurian economy, worth 380 trillion Gold Candy Canes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Pizza Delivery. Average income is an impressive 151,915 Gold Candy Canes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky, engineers preemptively order lawyers after every power cut, captains must wait until all rats are safe before jumping ship, and the government's foreign policy statements are less threatening than a World Assembly cease-and-desist letter. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Matsuri Kazamaki's national animal is the Bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Athyism.

Matsuri Kazamaki is ranked 306,428^th in the world and 330^th in The Wellspring for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 4,709.37 Standard Monetary Units.
