The Kingdom of Maclare is a colossal, genial nation, notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 8.311 billion Maclareans 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 66.2%.
The frighteningly efficient Maclarean economy, worth a remarkable 1,021 trillion pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 122,864 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.
Police officers that upset their bosses get assigned to 24 hour stakeouts of bike sheds, citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, savvy students quote paywalled research knowing that university lecturers can't afford to check the citations, and schoolboys who turn to watch pretty girls go by are given detention. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Maclare's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.
Maclare is ranked 16,404th in the world and 712th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 98 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
