The People's Republic of Mactoria is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 783 million Mactorians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kinkinz City. The average income tax rate is 62.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Mactorian economy, worth 21.2 trillion Novas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 27,018 Novas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The official Mactorian Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, the art of conversation has been rediscovered, and Leader is considering changing the Mactorian flag to one with more glitter. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mactoria's national animal is the Sea Otter, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Mactoria is ranked 198,085^th in the world and 2,633^rd in the West Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 114.85 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
