The Semi-Presidential Republic of Maxla is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Peter the 2nd Heifeldown with an even hand, and notable for its irreverence towards religion, complete absence of social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 2.894 billion Maxlans 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kischmaren. The average income tax rate is 19.7%.

The powerhouse Maxlan economy, worth 255 trillion Maxlan Liefs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 87,999 Maxlan Liefs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

Old fossils give the tours at the parliamentary museum, Peter the 2nd Heifeldown's campaign events reach their climax when the celebrity endorsers reveal themselves, the environment is gorgeous so long as you're looking up, and Maxla has been greatly criticised for its isolationist policies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Maxla's national animal is the Bernese Mountain Dog and its national religion is Secular.

Maxla is ranked 69,166^th in the world and 3,938^th in Balder for Longest Average Lifespans, with 78.65 years.
