The State of Makykay is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Rrat with an even hand, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, public floggings, and vat-grown people. The compassionate, humorless population of 4.355 billion Makyans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Phovnekyleva. The average income tax rate is 97.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Makyan economy, worth 806 trillion Makyars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. Average income is an impressive 185,198 Makyars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The constant playing of Merry Birthday on Makyan radio has led to calls for the song to be classified as a crime against humanity, ice-filled coffins are ominously positioned in the corner of every hospital ward, bins outnumber trees in city parks, and many friends and relatives of Rrat have been given ambassador jobs in tropical island nations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Makykay's national animal is the Orca, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Atheism.

Makykay is ranked 287,801^st in the world and 1,387^th in Europe for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.46 kickbacks per hour.
