The Empire of Mazapanes is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its frequent executions, free-roaming dinosaurs, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 279 million Mazapanesians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The minute, corrupt, well-organized government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.6%.

The powerhouse Mazapanesian economy, worth 26.4 trillion baht a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 94,627 baht, with the richest citizens earning 9.3 times as much as the poorest.

Twins move across the country to avoid being accused of the other's crimes, a typical fast food menu item could serve a small army, the nation is renowned abroad for its love of blood and guts, and small businesses are gobbled up almost daily by corporate giants. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Mazapanes's national animal is the Dog, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Mazapanes is ranked 9,259^th in the world and 9^th in Refugia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 6,128.24 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
