The Freedom Front Coalition of Masom is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Henkel Verman with an iron fist, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, sprawling nuclear power plants, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.055 billion Masomians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Canneve. The average income tax rate is 67.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Masomian economy, worth 38.3 trillion Masomian Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing, Pizza Delivery, Furniture Restoration, and Cheese Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 36,309 Masomian Marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Political speeches always take place at sunset to a background of patriotic power ballads, email killed the radio star, war vets look after war animals, and libraries have replaced overdue book fines with mandatory mental health assessments. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Masom's national animal is the Black Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Masom is ranked 281,837^th in the world and 39^th in Atlantis for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -7.07 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
