The Democratic Republic of Macadia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Ronald Ambridge with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, pith helmet sales, and public floggings. The compassionate population of 5.45 billion Macadians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kayan City. The average income tax rate is 73.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Macadian economy, worth 462 trillion redbacks a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 84,950 redbacks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Kids are arrested at gunpoint for playing with toy rifles, farmers have taken to hunting billionaires who encroach on their land, criminals and college students are taking an interest in the government's new weed-killing program, and libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Macadia's national animal is the donkey, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Macadia is ranked 241,769^th in the world and 278^th in Conch Kingdom for Most Extreme, scoring 11.3 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
