The Matriarchy of Mackenzie White is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Chancellor Jeanine Matthews with a fair hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 4.788 billion UNSC-Colonials hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Caprica City. The average income tax rate is 94.4%.
The frighteningly efficient Mackenzie Whitean economy, worth a remarkable 2,072 trillion Pound Sterlings a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 432,806 Pound Sterlings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.
Nine out of ten citizens of Mackenzie White answered 'nuclear safety inspector' when asked their occupation, nobody ever seems to enter or leave the armour-plated flying castle that serves as the seat of government, humble workers tempt fate for a taste of airline caviar, and excessive wheelchair ramps on government buildings have been compared to theme park attractions. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Mackenzie White's national animal is the Vampire Roster, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Lords of Kobol.
Mackenzie White is ranked 54,320th in the world and 1st in Goddess White for Most Stationary, with 810.4679188002 days.
