The Commonwealth of Isla Matador is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by President Carlos Lloyd with a fair hand, and remarkable for its parental licensing program, unlimited-speed roads, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 3.246 billion Matadorans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Port Richards. The average income tax rate is 62.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Matadorer economy, worth 519 trillion martas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 160,085 martas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sporting events are the biggest source of funding for Matadorer schools, matryoshka dolls resembling nested Death Stars are commonly sold, commuters often break into synchronised para-para dancing for no reason at all, and old dogs don't have to learn new tricks but they have to prove they haven't forgotten old ones. Crime is totally unknown. Isla Matador's national animal is the Turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Isla Matador is ranked 36,219^th in the world and 797^th in The North Pacific for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,400.22 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
