The Vickenian Protectorate of MaxStat is a titanic, safe nation, notable for its closed borders, prohibition of alcohol, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, cheerful population of 12.479 billion MaxStatians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of City of U. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient MaxStatian economy, worth a remarkable 5,850 trillion percentages a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 468,791 percentages, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Truancy officers have a hard time catching children trained in advanced camouflage skills, thieves claim they're simply working for the tax agency, graffiti is done with immaculate multi-layer shading, and sneezing pedestrians are grabbed by alley-lurking doctors. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. MaxStat's national animal is the homo sapiens, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

MaxStat is ranked 309^th in the world and 7^th in Osiris for Highest Poor Incomes, with 449,355.32 Standard Monetary Units.
