The Democratic Empire of Makinius is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Tahnee I with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 3.76 billion Makinians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cairns. The average income tax rate is 78.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Makinian economy, worth 585 trillion Makinian dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 155,737 Makinian dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

An online tea-bagging epidemic is getting worse and (meta)worse, agriculture is heavily subsidized by the government, where there's a will there is usually a password manager, and scientific journals publish third-graders' school essays. Crime is totally unknown. Makinius's national animal is the coastal taipan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Makinius is ranked 10,177th in the world and 255th in the South Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 118 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
