The Democratic Republic of Maiora is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Levi Starkin with a fair hand, and remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 946 million Maiorans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Solara. The average income tax rate is 78.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Maioran economy, worth 85.8 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 fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Trout Farming. Average income is 90,650 Maioran Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Criminals and college students are taking an interest in the government's new weed-killing program, religion is strictly forbidden within school grounds, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, and buses are widely regarded as the safest way to travel. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a 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 75,113^th in the world and 1,217^th in The North Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 90,650.03 Standard Monetary Units.
