The Confederacy of Maximas is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Maximian Lutovinov with an even hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 898 million Maximasians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bit city. The average income tax rate is 13.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Maximasian economy, worth 94.2 trillion bitcoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 104,886 bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Maximian Lutovinov's peyote-induced "let's all just be friends" speech is trending world-wide, academics have a bone to pick with free market entrepreneurs, scaffolding is built around scaffolding to give safe access, and Maximian Lutovinov has just been declared ruler of Maximas in an international press conference. Crime is relatively low. Maximas's national animal is the porcupine, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Maximas is ranked 40,870^th in the world and 787^th in The East Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 174.64 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
