The Empire of Makinius is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Tahnee I with a fair hand, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, keen interest in outer space, and daily referendums. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 3.815 billion Makinians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cairns. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 77.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Makinian economy, worth 612 trillion Makinian dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 160,521 Makinian dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

Visiting dignitaries often end up cuddling in the hot tub with Tahnee I, it is often said that only Tahnee I could bring down Dàguó, the military perceives nations hit by natural disasters as "easy pickings", and prison overcrowding is being addressed with a series of short sharp shocks. Crime is totally unknown. Makinius's national animal is the coastal taipan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Makinius is ranked 183,475th in the world and 2,633rd in the South Pacific for Most Stationary, with 73.56316819732 days.
