The Casual State of Makiland is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by The Mighty Powerful Makiman with an iron fist, and renowned for its lack of airports, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cynical population of 24.369 billion Makilandians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

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 Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Blueberrymuffintop City. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Makilandian economy, worth a remarkable 4,010 trillion Blueberry Jam Jars a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Book Publishing industry. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an impressive 164,560 Blueberry Jam Jars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A sudden shout of "surprise!" does not herald a party for teachers, whales in captivity live in little more than glorified goldfish bowls, all new "spies" are fifteen-year-old acne-ridden kids on computers, and deceased politicians spam the public with thousands of AI-generated voicemails. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Makiland's national animal is the Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Makiland is ranked 290,817th in the world and 51st in Hippy Haven for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -63.77 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
