The Isolationist Republic of Socialist Macronesia is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by John Ross with an even hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 1.403 billion Socialist Macronesians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education, Administration, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fort Ross. The average income tax rate is 78.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Socialist Macronesian economy, worth 266 trillion Macronesian dollars 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 a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, 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 impressive 189,673 Macronesian dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Census workers struggle to account for the rapidly increasing number of citizens to tabulate, it's considered a civil right to be allowed to neglect and mistreat your own children, self-driving cars are unpopular due to suspicion that they murder their passengers, and multiple births are a cause of celebration for tax collectors. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Socialist Macronesia's national animal is the rooster, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Socialist Macronesia is ranked 12,094^th in the world and 287^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Governments, scoring 30.76 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
