The Republic of McRae is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.739 billion McRaeans 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 tiny government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.6%.

The strong McRaean economy, worth 120 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 69,097 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 229,980 per year while the poor average 15,469, a ratio of 14.9 to 1.

Brasilistan has been announced as the nation's newest colony, Brasilistanis face layers of paperwork in a different language just to visit a doctor, the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, and vacationers and business travelers are often warned that they may lose the right to vote if they spend too much time overseas. Crime is moderate. McRae's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

McRae is ranked 217,109^th in the world and 1,853^rd in the Rejected Realms for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 249.68 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
