The Matriarchy of Makasta9 is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Queen Klara with an iron fist, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, ritual sacrifices, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 7.763 billion Makasta9ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Uwu. The average income tax rate is 67.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Makasta9ian economy, worth 877 trillion guilders a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Retail. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 112,981 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.
Political visitors are forced to stop ten paces from Queen Klara's throne, students do more community service than homework, airport users are more worried about radiation than terrorism, and prominent cultural symbols are featured on the backs of cereal boxes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Makasta9's national animal is the parrot, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Vexism.
Makasta9 is ranked 47,411th in the world and 692nd in Alliance of Supreme Powers for Most Stationary, with 926.0384351128 days.
