The Orderly Kingdom of Machiavellion is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by King Lorenzo II with an iron fist, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, public floggings, and frequent executions. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 9.554 billion Machiavs are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gaius. The average income tax rate is 91.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Machiav economy, worth a remarkable 1,106 trillion Lire a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 115,862 Lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

King Lorenzo II's exquisite office door is replaced monthly due to angry petitioners, water fights now end with thousands dead, employers are finding it hard to screen candidates now that everyone gets A grades in their exams, and protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Machiavellion's national animal is the Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Machiavellion is ranked 28,303^rd in the world and 1^st in The Sacred Marian Empire for Most Corrupt Governments, with 76.12 kickbacks per hour.
