“Stuck Between A Dictator, A Monarch, & A General”

Overview • Factbook • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Protectorate of East Maconian is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Jacob Yelno with an even hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, soft-spoken computers, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, devout population of 14.845 billion East Maconianians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Macaronia. The average income tax rate is 40.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming East Maconianian economy, worth a remarkable 1,401 trillion Bits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. Average income is 94,377 Bits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Weathermen are being arrested for attempting to read the future, strict term limits have been applied to all elected offices, sharks are enjoying their deliveries of canned food, and reassembling shredded papers is the highlight of a spy's day. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. East Maconian's national animal is the Deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Protestant Christianity.

East Maconian is ranked 47,171^st in the world and 74^th in Commonwealth of Sovereign States for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 55,965.84 Standard Monetary Units.
