The Grand Duchy of Mazuwe is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Ghérard de Ghulpe with a fair hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 11.081 billion Mazuwers love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 32.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The Mazuwer economy, worth 693 trillion guilders a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Tourism, Retail, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 62,546 guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Computer users are buried daily in thousands of unsolicited emails, there's an aura of pseudoscience around academia, teachers are skilled at leaving no evidence of child cruelty, and airplanes have giant grilles on their noses to knock drones out of their path. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mazuwe's national animal is the pig, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Mazuwe is ranked 115,404th in the world and 39th in New Europe for Most Stationary, with 329.816281973 days.
