The Matriarchal Theocracy of The Order of Makai is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Grand Crusader Dathrohan with an iron fist, and remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol, anti-smoking policies, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 6.694 billion Makaians 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Spirituality, Industry, and Law & Order are also considered important, while International Aid receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hearthglen. The average income tax rate is 96.6%.
The frighteningly efficient Makaian economy, worth a remarkable 1,287 trillion Makai Coins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 192,350 Makai Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The nation has recently been attributed to the funding of terrorist organisations, savvy students quote paywalled research knowing that university lecturers can't afford to check the citations, a recent political speech drew the ire of nerds everywhere after the speaker claimed that Darth Vader was Harry Potter's father, and visiting dignitaries often end up cuddling in the hot tub with Grand Crusader Dathrohan. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Order of Makai's national animal is the Succubutt, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Kirisutokyō.
The Order of Makai is ranked 94,998th in the world and 1st in Ammitica for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 2,041.99 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
