The Dictatorship of Matika is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Nunya Business with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, aversion to nipples, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 3.945 billion Matikans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tokhulu. The average income tax rate is 71.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Matik economy, worth 608 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 154,367 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Commercial jingles are the nation's greatest export, the Tokhulu Women's Prison Choir now has a baritone section, civil servants refuse to enforce government regulations for fear of wider economic impact, and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Matika's national animal is the Trout, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Atheism.

Matika is ranked 92,011^th in the world and 1,073^rd in The East Pacific for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,016.11 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
