The Empire of Madhonia is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Madhon with an even hand, and notable for its public floggings, zero percent divorce rate, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 21.946 billion Madhonians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and look forward to their next free and open election, to be held on an as-yet unannounced date.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Environment, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Madhonia City. The average income tax rate is 84.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Madhonian economy, worth a remarkable 2,173 trillion Zorkmids a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 99,016 Zorkmids, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The monarchy has adopted absolute primogeniture, the military conducts 'training exercises' in prisons, cremation is compulsory for the deceased, and biotech companies are fined if their jumbled genetic sequences look too familiar. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Madhonia's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Madness.

Madhonia is ranked 227,063^rd in the world and 3,216^th in the South Pacific for Fattest Citizens, with 8.49 Obesity Rate.
