The United Peoples Democratic RE of New Makasta is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by High Supreme General Hoszt Enisten with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, sprawling nuclear power plants, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 12.706 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 8,049 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 633,526 Delta eagles, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 5,033,598 per year while the poor average 19,121, a ratio of 263 to 1.

Safe drinking water is considered a luxury, school uniforms are compulsory, homeowners on prime real estate have been seen dodging giant bulldozers with cartoon characters painted on them, and deceased politicians' MyFace profiles are unanimously pro-incumbent. 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 673^rd in the world and 1^st in The League for Lowest Crime Rates, with 183.53 law-abiding acts per hour.
