The Federation of New Maxta is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Vycar Darkfire with an even hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, national health service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 21.79 billion New Maxtans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Maxtopolis. The average income tax rate is 90.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient New Maxtan economy, worth a remarkable 3,077 trillion Maxxens 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 mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 141,245 Maxxens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The best way to be heard in politics is to speak softly and carry a big comedy prop, police struggle to solve crimes due to the lack of fingerprint records, the government single-handedly sustains the bunk bed market, and saying "don't do anything that Vycar Darkfire wouldn't do" doesn't exclude a great deal. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. New Maxta's national animal is the Bull Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

New Maxta is ranked 8,201^st in the world and 127^th in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 110.19 law-abiding acts per hour.
