The Grotesque Playground of Mackintosh is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Magnificent Bastard with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, enslaved workforce, and national health service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 38.056 billion Mackintoshians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The minute, corrupt, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry, Law & Order, and Education also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Wasteland. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Mackintoshian economy, worth an astonishing 29,163 trillion managerial prerogatives a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is a breathtaking 766,319 managerial prerogatives, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 4,996,758 per year while the poor average 46,512, a ratio of 107 to 1.

Several inches are being added to first class seating, grocery stores can be audibly identified by the giggling emerging from them, the nation was recently voted as the most stylish in Wysteria, and celebrity foodies are biting a huge chunk out of the government budget. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Mackintosh's national animal is the worker, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Roman Catholic.

Mackintosh is ranked 109^th in the world and 6^th in Wysteria for Largest Agricultural Sector, scoring 28,851.14 on the Mu-Bah-Daggs Productivity Index.
