The Eleventh Doctor of Matthew Smith is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by The Eleventh Doctor with an iron fist, and renowned for its prohibition of alcohol, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 7.202 billion Gallifreyans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Trenzalore. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 69.0%.

The all-consuming Gallifreyan economy, worth 628 trillion jammie dodgers a year, is quite specialized and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is 87,315 jammie dodgers, with the richest citizens earning 8.1 times as much as the poorest.

Fur coats have become the latest fashion trend, paranoid museum guards keep a lookout for any animated displays attempting to escape the premises after dark, Matthew Smith Barrier Island residents anxiously await their 'Bridge to Somewhere', and an enormous health awareness programme is underway. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Matthew Smith's national animal is the silent, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Science.

Matthew Smith is ranked 106,830th in the world and 2nd in The Doctors for Safest, scoring 80.79 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
