The Assembly and Demos of Madrocea is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by President Carol Trajan with a fair hand, and notable for its national health service, ubiquitous missile silos, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 28.792 billion Madroceans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The tiny, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cardalia. The average income tax rate is 3.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Madrocean economy, worth a remarkable 6,356 trillion Atlantean Drachmas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 220,766 Atlantean Drachmas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Short shrift is being given to applications for political asylum from illegal immigrants, you're never too young to learn how to lie with confidence, young children are learning advanced physics to scientifically disprove the existence of Santa Claus, and new pilots are regularly reminded that they are more expendable than their planes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Madrocea's national animal is the Raven, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Madrocea is ranked 2,475^th in the world and 1^st in Atlantis for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 10,485.78 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
