The Grotesque Playground of Mackintosh is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Magnificent Bastard with an iron fist, and renowned for its flagrant waste-dumping, smutty television, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 41.666 billion Mackintoshians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry, Law & Order, and Education also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Wasteland. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Mackintoshian economy, worth an astonishing 31,855 trillion managerial prerogatives a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is a breathtaking 764,543 managerial prerogatives, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 5,547,498 per year while the poor average 33,218, a ratio of 167 to 1.

Fire stations and hospitals can't deploy emergency vehicles because badly parked cars block them in, scenic tours are unheard of after most environmental laws were abolished, discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is illegal, and the tools of the trade for landmine clearance appear to be copious amounts of gasoline and a box of matches. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Mackintosh's national animal is the worker, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Roman Catholic.

Mackintosh is ranked 46,526^th in the world and 41^st in Wysteria for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 3,676.75 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
