The Protectorate of New Maxta is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Vycar Darkfire with an iron fist, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 16.539 billion New Maxtans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 80.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong New Maxtan economy, worth a remarkable 1,713 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, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 103,618 Maxxens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Edutainment video games are taking New Maxta's students to the next level, the government blames all suspicious phenomena on flying saucers, the government frequently panders to parents with boutique tax credits, and frat-house partying has become the national pastime. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Maxta's national animal is the Bull Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

New Maxta is ranked 287,682^nd in the world and 5,361^st in the South Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -17.94 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
