The District of Macae is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its complete lack of public education, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 40.602 billion Macaeans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Spirituality, although Industry is also considered important, while Defense and Law & Order aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital City District. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.5%.

The thriving Macaean economy, worth a remarkable 2,092 trillion aurum gold bars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Cheese Exports, and Gambling. Average income is 51,548 aurum gold bars, with the richest citizens earning 8.9 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is voluntary and Macae has designated Capital City District as its capital city. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Macae's national animal is the buffalo, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Macae is ranked 159,578^th in the world and 1^st in Macae for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 70.36 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
