The United Peoples Democratic RE of New Makasta is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by High Supreme General Hoszt Enisten with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 9.063 billion Makastians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Deeka. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 93.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Makastiantin economy, worth a remarkable 4,703 trillion Delta eagles a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is a breathtaking 518,959 Delta eagles, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 4,233,951 per year while the poor average 13,770, a ratio of 307 to 1.

The police are destroying all photographic evidence of their own existence, government statistics suggest 115% of the population love High Supreme General Hoszt Enisten, conspiracy nuts claim that the government is trying to bring about an end to civilisation, and top-shelf magazines feature risqué centrefold spreads of ladies' wrists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Makasta's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Atheism.

New Makasta is ranked 141,479^th in the world and 187^th in The League for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 1,541.09 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
