The Computer States of Macworld is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Madden8021 with a fair hand, and remarkable for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 2.486 billion live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, liberal, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Commerce, with areas such as Social Equality and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lincoln AD. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 57%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

Graffiti graces every city's streets, urban high-volume mailers now receive their mail via chauffeur-driven limousines, the lowest age at which one can marry has been recently lowered to 12, and young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling. Macworld's national animal is the German Shepherd Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Christianity, and its currency is the Macworld Dollar.

Macworld is ranked 3rd in Tristonia and 37,110th in the world for Largest Public Sector, scoring 14 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
