The Free State of The Former State of Massachusetts is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Prime Minister Matt McGonagle with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 1.862 billion Bay Staters hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Boston. The average income tax rate is 89.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Massachusettsian economy, worth 194 trillion Massachusettsian Dollars a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 104,666 Massachusettsian Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Conspiracy theorists allege Boston's new subway map resembles Satanic symbols, third party candidates are now gaining some representation in Parliament, fraternities are notorious for drunken hooliganism, and the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Former State of Massachusetts's national animal is the Boston Terrier, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Church of Massachusetts.
