The Republic of Matatarian is a huge, safe nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 683 million Matatarianians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 15.2%.

The Matatarianian economy, worth 34.2 trillion Pesos a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Automobile Manufacturing, and Gambling. Average income is 50,122 Pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is almost non-existent. Matatarian's national animal is the Eaglesham, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Matatarian is ranked 260,816^th in the world and 10^th in World Cool Region for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring zero on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
