The Estado Flaneliano of Macovi is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Supreme Dictator Orion Pinheiro with an iron fist, and renowned for its closed borders, ubiquitous missile silos, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 5.147 billion Macovians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Northern Macovinia. The average income tax rate is 92.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Macovian economy, worth a remarkable 1,022 trillion handfuls a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 198,742 handfuls, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Consumption of cat memes has skyrocketed, teachers are dying as they attempt to read 500 word essays without pausing for breath, computer users are buried daily in thousands of unsolicited emails, and people seem disproportionately distraught when told a museum has a phones-off policy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Macovi's national animal is the bird ɪ, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Macovi is ranked 295,969th in the world and 98th in Flanelistan for Most Ignorant Citizens, with 1 missed references per hour.
