The Holy Yellow of Makko Oko is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Conall Solis with an iron fist, and notable for its aversion to nipples, ubiquitous missile silos, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.179 billion Makkonians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, although Defense, Administration, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yggdrassil. The average income tax rate is 96.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Makkonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,482 trillion does a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 161,489 does, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

War vets look after war animals, collisions between bicycles and carnival floats are on the rise, practically perfect royal toddlers tend to say "regrettably not at this juncture" rather than "no", and the government denies any involvement in the release of the Hot Load computer virus. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Makko Oko's national animal is the Bat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Athyism.

Makko Oko is ranked 91,146^th in the world and 75^th in Conch Kingdom for Most Extreme, scoring 24.63 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
