The Imperial State of Max Siotto is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Emperor Max I with an iron fist, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, barren, inhospitable landscape, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 2.343 billion Siottoans are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Welfare and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Siottograd. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 23.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Max Siottoan economy, worth 395 trillion Siottoan EuroDollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 168,985 Siottoan EuroDollars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 953,217 per year while the poor average 14,740, a ratio of 64.7 to 1.

Soldiers on first dates introduce themselves only by their ranks and serial numbers, homeowners are evicted to make way for new runways, there is a disproportionate number of poor people in prison, and it is considered unpatriotic to learn a foreign language. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force. Max Siotto's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Max Siotto is ranked 196,575^th in the world and 7,459^th in the South Pacific for Highest Drug Use, scoring 34.8 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
