The Community of Mathler is a huge, genial nation, notable for its daily referendums, avant-garde cinema, and prohibition of alcohol. The compassionate, cynical population of 633 million Mathlerians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aryanagar. The average income tax rate is 70.0%.

The thriving Mathlerian economy, worth 59.6 trillion Dinars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 94,155 Dinars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Referenda can be called for any law at the request of at least one third of the voting population, biker gangs and fashionistas are converting to Violetism en masse, pinkie promises are a matter of life and death, and appendix transplant figures have recently doubled. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mathler's national animal is the Garuda, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mathler is ranked 21,060^th in the world and 42^nd in Karma for Most Cultured, scoring 87 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
