The Democratic Republic of Macadia is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Ronald Ambridge with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 4.317 billion Macadians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kayan City. The average income tax rate is 70.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Macadian economy, worth 385 trillion redbacks a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 89,395 redbacks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Members of the government all have oddly similar anecdotes about their childhoods, religious leaders order congregants to love any neighbour who is just like themselves, chess defeat has made Ronald Ambridge the laughingstock of dictators and grandmasters alike, and healthcare workers are flummoxed over the spike in foreign tourists with sudden-onset heart disease. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Macadia's national animal is the donkey, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Quakerism.

Macadia is ranked 107,271^st in the world and 72^nd in Conch Kingdom for Most Primitive, scoring -23.71 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
