The Principality of The Mauritshuis is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Michiel de Ruyter with a fair hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, punitive income tax rates, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 4.983 billion Dutches are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The medium-sized, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Hague. The average income tax rate is 94.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Mauritshuisian economy, worth a remarkable 1,967 trillion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 394,860 Euros, with the richest citizens earning 6.7 times as much as the poorest.

Graffiti graces every city's streets, the government has returned all business to private ownership, citizens seem fixated on 105m x 45m rectangles, and programmers often reinvent the wheel. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. The Mauritshuis's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Lutheran Heretics.

The Mauritshuis is ranked 232,895^th in the world and 15^th in United Earth Government for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 22,112.16 Standard Monetary Units.
