The Enormity of Maxiel is a massive, genial nation, ruled by King Max with a fair hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, ban on automobiles, and parental licensing program. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.975 billion Maxielians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Maxiel. The average income tax rate is 92.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Maxielian economy, worth 520 trillion Courjitziens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 130,952 Courjitziens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation forgives those who are big enough to admit they made a mistake, seven-year-olds debate for weeks on the merits of the Oxford comma, guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites, and acrimonious legal battles result during divorce proceedings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Maxiel's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Food.

Maxiel is ranked 13,585^th in the world and 3^rd in Aessui for Largest Governments, scoring 33.73 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
