The Principality of Mavis is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, cynical, devout population of 2.793 billion Mavisians are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The relatively small, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 20.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Mavisian economy, worth 166 trillion zings a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Pizza Delivery, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 59,581 zings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Surveillance cameras are banned, a major religion has been named as Mavis's national religion, Leader has just been declared ruler of Mavis in an international press conference, and Mavis has designated Mavis City as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Mavis's national animal is the bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Mavis is ranked 129,743^rd in the world and 9^th in Eastern Roman Empire for Most Developed, scoring 57.5 on the Human Development Index.
