The Grotesque Playground of Mackintosh is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Magnificent Bastard with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, infamous sell-swords, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 47.499 billion Mackintoshians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The minute, corrupt, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry, Law & Order, and Education also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Wasteland. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Mackintoshian economy, worth an astonishing 36,985 trillion managerial prerogatives a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is a breathtaking 778,659 managerial prerogatives, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,668,471 per year while the poor average 98,139, a ratio of 37.4 to 1.

The nation has always been at war with Bigtopia, the government is a proud sponsor of the National Gaming Association, it's best to decline if Magnificent Bastard offers to buy a round of drinks, and commercial jingles have been ham-handedly forced into world renowned symphonies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Mackintosh's national animal is the worker, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Roman Catholic.

Mackintosh is ranked 8,390^th in the world and 3^rd in Wysteria for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 9,546.46 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
