The State of M A 0 is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by the Governor with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 28.444 billion M A 0ians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The tiny government is primarily concerned with Law & Order, although Education, Welfare, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Defense and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 8.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient M A 0ian economy, worth 779 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Gambling, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 27,398 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The Governor has just been declared ruler of M A 0 in an international press conference, a major religion has been named as M A 0's national religion, religious organizations are being forced to leave the country or pay income taxes like everybody else, and many politicians are serving jail time for minor drug offenses. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force. M A 0's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

M A 0 is ranked 114,079^th in the world and 3^rd in Dhaka for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 2,163.02 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
