The Federation of Maz Diveraka is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Colin Monroe with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, keen interest in outer space, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.2 billion Maz Diverakans 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cockadoodle Tweet Tweet County. The average income tax rate is 53.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Maz Diverakan economy, worth 168 trillion Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 140,347 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

The stock market has been destroyed for its own protection, motorists' locations are constantly tracked by intelligence and law enforcement agencies, colonists who were promised new lands find only war-torn devastation, and a National Academy regulates grammar and usage. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Maz Diveraka's national animal is the Cockadoodle Tweet Tweet, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Maz Diveraka is ranked 85,308^th in the world and 2,205^th in The North Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 2,910.89 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
