The Holy Corporate Municipality of McDonaldsland is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Ronald McDonald with an iron fist, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, pith helmet sales, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 20.212 billion McCitizens are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Spirituality, and Industry are also considered important, while Welfare and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of McDonaldsland City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.9%.

The frighteningly efficient McDonaldslandian economy, worth a remarkable 3,917 trillion McPennies a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 193,803 McPennies, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,187,313 per year while the poor average 13,884, a ratio of 85.5 to 1.

Bags of fertiliser come with detailed instructions for not making explosives, twins move across the country to avoid being accused of the other's crimes, teach an angler how to phish and he can make a living, and stale 'yo mamma' insults have been replaced by 'your maternal DNA' insults. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. McDonaldsland's national animal is the McNugget, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Capitalism.

McDonaldsland is ranked 10,428th in the world and 215th in The North Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 6,823.15 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
