The United Kingdom of Mattielandia is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Mattie the Dog with an even hand, and notable for its soft-spoken computers, free-roaming dinosaurs, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cheerful population of 7.724 billion Mattielandians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Grey City. The average income tax rate is 97.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Mattielandian economy, worth a remarkable 1,251 trillion Doodles 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 mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 162,042 Doodles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Treasury has been accused of flushing money down the toilet, youth rights demonstrations often end in vicious snowball fights, human pie shops continue to receive shipments of meat from Spleeny Rodd's, and the nation has nearly as many history museums as Mattielandians. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Mattielandia's national animal is the Greyhound, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mattielandia is ranked 1,853rd in the world and 3rd in Karma for Safest, scoring 149.68 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
