The Republic of Matrehamn is a huge, pleasant nation, notable for its burgeoning porpoise population. The hard-working population of 799 million Matrehamnians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 22.5%.
The Matrehamnian economy, worth 32.0 trillion marks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Book Publishing, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 40,101 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.
Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Matrehamn's national animal is the porpoise.
Matrehamn is ranked 102,437th in the world and 6th in Freelands for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,242.36 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
