The United Peoples Democratic RE of New Makasta is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by High Supreme General Hoszt Enisten with an iron fist, and remarkable for its flagrant waste-dumping, avant-garde cinema, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 14.303 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 relatively small, 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. The average income tax rate is 95.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Makastiantin economy, worth a remarkable 9,104 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 636,567 Delta eagles, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 4,872,582 per year while the poor average 22,591, a ratio of 215 to 1.

Pristine wilderness has been trashed in the quest for cheaper oil, modern warfare's call of duty isn't popular with gamers these days, starry-eyed convention goers have their heads in the clouds, and owning a tractor is widely regarded as an essential prerequisite to most government positions. 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 292^nd in the world and 1^st in The League for Largest Black Market, with 13,342 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
