The Heavanly Empire of Maichuko is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Lord of all Maichukoans Toizu IV with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 24.305 billion Maichukoans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shangstu. The average income tax rate is 95.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Maichukoan economy, worth a remarkable 3,744 trillion Silver Duans a year, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 154,081 Silver Duans, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The latest political memes depict Lord of all Maichukoans Toizu IV as an overly-choreographed robot, the "temporary replacement bus service" is now a permanent fixture, the news is showing footage of Lord of all Maichukoans Toizu IV bullying an old man to the point of tears, and reams of paperwork signed in triplicate have taken the magic out of magic. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Maichuko's national animal is the Fluffy Sheep, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Woolooism.

Maichuko is ranked 7,570^th in the world and 1^st in The Empire of the Setting Moon for Nicest Citizens, with 35.87 average smiles per day.
