The People's Republic of Maxuus is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Comrade Maximo with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.406 billion Maxuusians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Maximogrado. The average income tax rate is 94.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Maxuusian economy, worth 689 trillion Maxiums a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 127,564 Maxiums, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Legislators work 24/7 due to an influx of single-issue bills, the nation wears its high incidence of chromosomal diseases as a badge of pride, goldfish bowls are three metres in diameter, and factories place endangered birds in their rafters in pursuit of government protections. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Maxuus's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Maxuus is ranked 21,038^th in the world and 339^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 249.02 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
