The Commonwealth of McBainis is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working population of 779 million McBainisians 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 Defense, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stonks City. The average income tax rate is 30.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong McBainisian economy, worth 52.5 trillion pps a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 67,354 pps, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People seem disproportionately distraught when told a museum has a phones-off policy, Stonks City Preparatory School for the Exceedingly Wealthy's basketball team is having a few off-years, breast milk is being redistributed from each according to their ability to each according to their need, and an aboriginal talking stick is used for leaders' debates at election time. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. McBainis's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

McBainis is ranked 175,230^th in the world and 237^th in Thaecia for Most Secular, with 15.73 Atheism Rate.
