The Empire of Maja-pahit is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Gajah Mada with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 4.302 billion Majapahits are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Majakarta. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 2.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Majapahit economy, worth 624 trillion Coins a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Gambling. Average income is an impressive 145,169 Coins, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,314,781 per year while the poor average 1,893, a ratio of 694 to 1.

Jaywalking is punishable by public flogging, citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits, suicide victims often leave behind cash to cover the cost of their fines, and all new "spies" are fifteen-year-old acne-ridden kids on computers. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Maja-pahit's national animal is the Komodo, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Siwa-Buddha.

Maja-pahit is ranked 44,586th in the world and 26th in Sulawesi for Most Cultured, scoring 73 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
