The Democratic Republic of Macere is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Premier Mark Williams with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, free-roaming dinosaurs, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate population of 7.25 billion Macereans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Victoria. The average income tax rate is 92.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Macerean economy, worth 767 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 105,820 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Skateparks can be found in every city, every politician claims to be at least 1% Native Macerean, seven-year-olds debate for weeks on the merits of the Oxford comma, and Eau de Trashcan has become a wildly popular perfume. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Macere's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

Macere is ranked 101,691^st in the world and 3,724^th in Balder for Most Politically Free, scoring 66.29 on the Diebold Election Inking Scale.
