The Matriarchy of Mathai is a very large, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of prisons, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 218 million Mathaians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Education, Industry, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality and Social Policy aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.8%.

The thriving Mathaian economy, worth 14.6 trillion bitcoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Pizza Delivery, and Soda Sales. Average income is 66,972 bitcoins, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 394,061 per year while the poor average 5,297, a ratio of 74.4 to 1.

Schoolchildren on field trips are asked what torture means to them, new government leaflets tell coeliac children to eat more crisps, first-time jaywalkers are also last-time jaywalkers, and the new foreign policy is "why bother invading neighbours when they can be bought wholesale?". Crime is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Mathai's national animal is the crocodile, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Mathai is ranked 8,632^nd in the world and 7^th in Benigtopia for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 6,108.97 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
