The Empire of Mazapan is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Bahram I with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, zero percent divorce rate, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 16.17 billion Mazapanians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Spirituality, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Marv. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 19.2%.

The very strong Mazapanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,036 trillion Darics a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Pizza Delivery, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 64,080 Darics, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 180,885 per year while the poor average 18,172, a ratio of 10.0 to 1.

All major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, bemused citizens are encouraged to sing foreign-language hymns of religions they have never heard of, all artwork is carefully screened for offensive material, and imitation is the sincerest form of felony. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mazapan's national animal is the Horse, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Zoroastrianism.

Mazapan is ranked 60,063^rd in the world and 2^nd in Train Station for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 51,777.05 Standard Monetary Units.
