The State of Maas is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by the Directorate with a fair hand, and notable for its smutty television, rampant corporate plagiarism, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 19.87 billion Maase are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The relatively small, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Environment, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Maasen. The average income tax rate is 25.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Maase economy, worth a remarkable 2,757 trillion Polar Crowns a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 138,790 Polar Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Trains and passengers alike are often late, police struggle to solve crimes due to the lack of fingerprint records, even God cannot save you in Maas, and students are known to arrive at school in their pyjamas. Crime is totally unknown. Maas's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is none.

Maas is ranked 28,784^th in the world and 10^th in Arctic for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 6,544.03 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
