The Commonwealth of Masaru is a massive, genial nation, notable for its compulsory military service, public floggings, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 2.117 billion Masaruans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Education. The average income tax rate is 77.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Masaruan economy, worth 20.4 trillion Marus 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 Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 9,614 Marus, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews, the nation's war memorials are being torn down and replaced with peace gardens, roadside walls are being built and mother nature is paying for it, and skateparks can be found in every city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Masaru's national animal is the Masu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Masaru is ranked 213,644^th in the world and 7^th in Voreia Aravia for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring -2.79 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
