The Federation of Madossa is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by the parliament with an even hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 17.916 billion Madossans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Paris. The average income tax rate is 86.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Madossan economy, worth a remarkable 2,299 trillion Euros a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 128,374 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hospitals fear government fines more than terrorist ransoms, residents of houses built on a foundation of wishful thinking are prone to an odd sinking feeling, The parliament's campaign events reach their climax when the celebrity endorsers reveal themselves, and 'Totally Not Partisan News' is a line item on the government budget. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Madossa's national animal is the panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is none.

Madossa is ranked 10,827^th in the world and 83^rd in Forest for Smartest Citizens, with 92 quips per hour.
