The Stellar Republic of North Mack is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Council of Seven with an even hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 22.203 billion Mackens enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, liberal government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Law & Order, and Defense are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Trinakai. The average income tax rate is 53.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse North Mackian economy, worth a remarkable 2,815 trillion Creds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 126,805 Creds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Politicians spend more time in courtrooms than in Parliament, North Mackian housewives become unusually flustered when thinking about the Council of Seven, community-designed sword prostheses are becoming dangerously common, and group hugs break out during floor votes. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. North Mack's national animal is the Red-tailed Hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

North Mack is ranked 23,440^th in the world and 22^nd in The Local Cluster for Most Developed, scoring 72.52 on the Human Development Index.
