The Empire of Mathmech Addition is a massive, pleasant nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-working population of 2.098 billion Mathmech Additionians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 26.0%.

The Mathmech Additionian economy, worth 84.9 trillion Duckcoins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 40,485 Duckcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Airplane passengers have been known to stuff pillows in their jackets to get extra arm room, the new iVote app allows representatives to vote on legislation by launching ill-tempered birds and matching candies, travellers are often forcibly evicted by torch-bearing mobs, and maximum security fish farms leave caged salmon pining for the fjords. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mathmech Addition's national animal is the Duck, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Mathmech Addition is ranked 143,627^th in the world and 1^st in Manisphere for Most Corrupt Governments, with 4.85 kickbacks per hour.
