The Kingdom of Masctopia is a large, cultured nation, notable for its compulsory military service, public floggings, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 138 million Masctopians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 10.6%.

The thriving Masctopian economy, worth 10.2 trillion Carabiners a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Soda Sales, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 74,161 Carabiners, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

The military patrols the streets in search of possible secessionists, doctors prescribe medicines but they rarely dispense hope or compassion, mathematics majors learn about new ways to model their crushing debt, and industry tycoons rarely hide their misdeeds due to the government's habit of bailing them out. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Masctopia's national animal is the KatieB, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Masctopia is ranked 233,256^th in the world and 156^th in Benigtopia for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 29.36 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
