The Southern Ring Republic of Macrasetia is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Imperatrix Pacis Celina Karisea with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 6.396 billion Macrasetians 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, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cerilaiva. The average income tax rate is 98.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Macrasetian economy, worth a remarkable 2,185 trillion pescas a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 341,737 pescas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Access to the woods is only granted to those who bring a small shrubbery, from the highest mountain to the deepest cave - one can always count on finding a good cell signal in Macrasetia, everybody's got wood thanks to Imperatrix Pacis Celina Karisea, and 90% of active duty MAF personnel have been laid off and replaced by robot kill-drones. Crime is totally unknown. Macrasetia's national animal is the hellbender, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Macraesiph.

Macrasetia is ranked 7,067^th in the world and 42^nd in 10000 Islands for Most Patriotic, with 71.41 flags saluted per person per day.
