The Republic of Madreia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Beryllium Phosphorus with a fair hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 2.198 billion Madreians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Urfanua. The average income tax rate is 80.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Madreian economy, worth 330 trillion madruns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 150,194 madruns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Passionate nomination battles are often as intense as general elections, several inches are being added to first class seating, pilots always remember to send their doctors a Maxxmas card, and the government is using tax revenues to provide jobs for the poor. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Madreia's national animal is the Madreian tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Madreia is ranked 21,161^st in the world and 1,117^th in Osiris for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 8,483.47 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
