The Empire of Madja as is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Emperor Julius Von Bismark I with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, vat-grown people, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 5.975 billion Madja asians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nueva Civitas. The average income tax rate is 90.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Madja asian economy, worth a remarkable 1,183 trillion Kwartas a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 198,105 Kwartas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Employers are never quite sure if graduates' qualifications have any merit or meaning, new research always seems to support government initiatives, the bonfire of the old paper records can be seen for miles around Nueva Civitas, and military minds worry that 'the blue screen of death' on brand new operating systems may be a literal description. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Madja as's national animal is the Spotted deer, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Madja as is ranked 2,690^th in the world and 6^th in Wintreath for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 732.39 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
