The Incorporated States of Maxwell Lord is a gargantuan, orderly nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 44.635 billion Maxwell Lordians 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 medium-sized, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, with International Aid, Environment, and Public Transport also on the agenda, while Welfare is ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 14.8%.

The strong Maxwell Lordian economy, worth a remarkable 1,895 trillion powers 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 led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Automobile Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Average income is 42,475 powers, with the richest citizens earning 8.7 times as much as the poorest.

Nudity is frowned upon, the government is avowedly atheist, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, and citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes. Crime is a serious problem. Maxwell Lord's national animal is the pegasus.

Maxwell Lord is ranked 1^st in the world and 1^st in Justice League for Lowest Crime Rates, with zero law-abiding acts per hour.
