The Empire of Madhonia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Madhon with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, anti-smoking policies, and public floggings. The hard-nosed population of 12.691 billion Madhonians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Madhonia City. The average income tax rate is 79.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Madhonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,167 trillion Zorkmids a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Furniture Restoration, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 91,995 Zorkmids, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The national census includes an opt-in to join the government-run dating service, glamping Madhonians won't sleep in a tent that doesn't include a Jacuzzi, children gain their first sex education from reading the dictionary, and the nation grinds to a halt for afternoon tea. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Madhonia's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Madness.

Madhonia is ranked 27,167^th in the world and 680^th in the South Pacific for Most Efficient Economies, scoring 97.47 on the Krugman-Greenspan Business Outlook Index.
