The Democratic Republic of Maiora is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its daily referendums, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 577 million Maiorans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Solara. The average income tax rate is 77.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Maioran economy, worth 39.8 trillion Maioran Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 68,977 Maioran Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Modelling agencies send their clients to work in nursing homes, the government sends submarines to retrieve bodies from shipwrecked submarines, organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, and the Violetist community celebrates bombshells being dropped on Maiora. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Maiora's national animal is the Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Maiora is ranked 284,107^th in the world and 3,980^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 525.25 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
