The Rogue Nation of The Great Maelstrom is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service, rampant corporate plagiarism, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 6.113 billion Great Maelstromians 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, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Industry, and Law & Order are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arstotzka. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 24.0%.

The thriving Great Maelstromian economy, worth 403 trillion marks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 66,079 marks, with the richest citizens earning 7.5 times as much as the poorest.

The WhoTube comments section has gone strangely quiet, more and more students are taking up a career in medicine, restaurateurs put a lot of effort into persuading customers to accept wafer-thin mints, and the crispy fried liver of a Raven is prized as a tasty treat by vagrants. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Great Maelstrom's national animal is the Raven, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

The Great Maelstrom is ranked 16,013^th in the world and 8^th in Philippines for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 5,580.45 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
