The Grand Duchy of Maastrice is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Duke Willem-Alexander with an iron fist, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 3.183 billion Maastriceans 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, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Maastricht. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18.8%.

The thriving Maastricean economy, worth 192 trillion maas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Automobile Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 60,513 maas, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 188,469 per year while the poor average 14,932, a ratio of 12.6 to 1.

The decommissioned tank divisions of other nations are being bought up en masse by Maastrice, biker gangs and fashionistas are converting to Violetism en masse, Maastrice has designated Maastricht as its capital city, and Duke Willem-Alexander has been self-declared as the Most Supreme Magnificent Overlord of Everything You Ever Saw. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a very well-funded police force. Maastrice's national animal is the eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Maastrice is ranked 123,732^nd in the world and 2^nd in Froses Realm for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 75.95 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
