The Federal Republic of Massaaraloo is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Massaaraloo Parliament with an even hand, and notable for its national health service, smutty television, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.398 billion Massaaralooans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Massaaraloo City. The average income tax rate is 75.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Massaaralooan economy, worth 379 trillion Massaaraloo Dollars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 111,669 Massaaraloo Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Street preachers spend more time condemning government bureaucracy than passers-by, millions are awarded in damages for bad haircuts, a ban on robots in disguise has transformed the entertainment industry, and citizens try to pass off bottlecaps they found in their backyards as historical artifacts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Massaaraloo's national animal is the Bald Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Atheism.

Massaaraloo is ranked 13,122^nd in the world and 342^nd in The East Pacific for Highest Food Quality, scoring 143.24 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
