The UB-32 of Socialist Macronesia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by John Ross with an iron fist, and notable for its ritual sacrifices, absence of drug laws, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 2.31 billion Socialist Macronesians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Education, Administration, and Law & Order are also considered important, 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 83.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Socialist Macronesian economy, worth 498 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. 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 amazing 215,687 Macronesian dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Science centers and state of the art laboratories are ubiquitous, annulments are on the rise as couples discover their ancestors were born in the same hospitals, mandatory updates on software drivers often bring life to a halt, and pre-takeoff checks last longer than the flights themselves. 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 is also the nation's favorite main course.

Socialist Macronesia is ranked 16,614^th in the world and 1^st in The 1985 Movie Clue for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 2,522.84 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
