The Kingdom of Machalas is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Bryan Stanley with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, digital currency, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working population of 1.307 billion Machaleñoes have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Machanda. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 54.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Machaleño economy, worth 158 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 120,922 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 6.8 times as much as the poorest.

Teenagers are told they're not thinking about sex enough, feeling like a winner comes at a price, every day has been a surprise since weather reporters turned to consulting ancient totems for their seven-day forecasts, and third world countries are rich in "I Love Machanda" t-shirts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Machalas's national animal is the Leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cristanlismo.

Machalas is ranked 63,056^th in the world and 1,915^th in The North Pacific for Safest, scoring 98.22 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
