The Empire of the Golden Throne of The Macabees is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, enslaved workforce, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 46.509 billion Macabeans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.
There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, outspoken individuals juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Education. Income tax is unheard of.
The frighteningly efficient Macabean economy, worth an astonishing 17,117 trillion Ríokmarks a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 368,051 Ríokmarks, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,510,593 per year while the poor average 59,205, a ratio of 25.5 to 1.
Citizens finish cleaning up after the annual National Treasure Hunt just in time for the next one, baiting is a national sport, the new cheese tax is colloquially known as "wheel welfare", and a death threat has replaced 'hello' as an official greeting in the nation. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. The Macabees's national animal is the Imperial Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
The Macabees is ranked 624th in the world and 1st in Greater Dienstad for Highest Workforce Participation Rate, with 96.15 Workforce Participation Rate.
