The New United Empire of Maysai is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Kaiser Terrance von Rhizenten with an even hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, ubiquitous missile silos, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 39.449 billion Maysinians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, corrupt government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Grand Lantern. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Maysaian economy, worth an astonishing 14,341 trillion Mekkits a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Gambling, and Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 363,557 Mekkits, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,797,190 per year while the poor average 41,802, a ratio of 43.0 to 1.

Monster hunters with oversized swords roam the land, global anti-terrorist organisations strongly suspect Maysai of supplying extremist groups, a death threat has replaced 'hello' as an official greeting in the nation, and the nation's infamous boot camp is more brutal than most battlefields. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Maysai's national animal is the Treefox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Maysinian-Rite Catholicism.

Maysai is ranked 12,219^th in the world and 1^st in The Eastern West Horizon for Highest Food Quality, scoring 147.83 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
