The Federated Capitalist States of Southern Maus is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Rose with a fair hand, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, complete lack of prisons, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 4.443 billion Mausans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, with Environment and Law & Order not funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Maus City. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Southern Mausan economy, worth a remarkable 1,318 trillion bitcoins a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Gambling, and Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 296,652 bitcoins, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,584,124 per year while the poor average 5,313, a ratio of 486 to 1.

The local custom of Biking With The Cars sends tourists home bemused or in body-bags, tourists often cite 'hiding money in an off-shore banking account' as their main reason to visit the nation, the government prefers to leave the past buried, and the controversial show 'Who Wants to be an Immigrant?' has become wildly popular. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Southern Maus's national animal is the giraffe, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is The Rat Race.

Southern Maus is ranked 316,929^th in the world and 1,584^th in Europe for Safest, scoring 2.14 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
