The Retired Prince's Seat of New Maxonberg is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Theoden Sebastian with an iron fist, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, public floggings, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-working, cynical, devout population of 28.891 billion Maxonbergians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Maxonberg City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 34.5%.

The frighteningly efficient New Maxonbergian economy, worth a remarkable 2,734 trillion Universal Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 94,654 Universal Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 313,482 per year while the poor average 21,348, a ratio of 14.7 to 1.

Asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes, selling your granddad's clothes requires an incredible amount of paperwork, exports are stamped with "made by the invisible hand you commies", and 100-year-old politicians are now a thing of the past. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Maxonberg's national animal is the Maxonberg Bulldog, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Theoden worship.

New Maxonberg is ranked 109,152^nd in the world and 1^st in Maxonberg for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 43.68 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
