The Banana Republic of Mackiland is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Vasuka aka the second most egoist person with an iron fist, and notable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, rampant corporate plagiarism, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 9.744 billion Mackilandlebi are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mackital City. The average income tax rate is 78.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Mackilandian economy, worth a remarkable 1,742 trillion Leaves a year, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 178,855 Leaves, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

Prisoners pray grey skies are gonna clear up, life expectancies inside correctional facilities vastly exceed the national average, foreign students are expected to have a Kegmeister Grade Average of 36-24-36 to qualify for university, and foreigners are treated with great suspicion. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mackiland's national animal is the Banana, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Macknosticism.

Mackiland is ranked 310,105th in the world and 2nd in Mackiland for Most Secular, with 1.96 Atheism Rate.
