The Most Serene Republic of Maizono is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Sayaka Maizono with a fair hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 9.529 billion Maizonoans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.1%.

The powerhouse Maizonoan economy, worth 697 trillion yen a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Gambling, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 73,227 yen, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 328,788 per year while the poor average 10,079, a ratio of 32.6 to 1.

Maizono is notorious for its citizens' infidelity, grocery stores can be audibly identified by the giggling emerging from them, 'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Maizono's radio stations, and hypochondriacs demand treatment for genetic disorders they don't have. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Maizono's national animal is the snake.

Maizono is ranked 201,433^rd in the world and 8^th in 765 Production for Most Corrupt Governments, with 1.32 kickbacks per hour.
