The Republic of The Maxtopian Prophets is a very large, environmentally stunning nation run by Matthias Valjean, renowned for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 79 million love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Defence, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 88%, and even higher for the wealthy. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising fourteen-year-old boys selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, organ donation is compulsory, the death penalty has been reintroduced, and The Maxtopian Prophets's army is full of two-metre tall super-soldiers. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Maxtopian Prophets's national animal is the eagle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the gold.
