The Holy Empire of Maconc is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Prince Macono Everton Domingues with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 1.042 billion Maconcians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yong. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 16.8%.

The thriving Maconcian economy, worth 84.1 trillion Moc Mocs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Information Technology. Average income is 80,724 Moc Mocs, with the richest citizens earning 6.3 times as much as the poorest.

Athletes are renowned for being the best at maths, money that should have gone to charities is instead spent on monitoring them, the government is on the side of working people (like CEOs, bankers and billionaires), and sneezing pedestrians are grabbed by alley-lurking doctors. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Maconc's national animal is the Macaco, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Maconc is ranked 139,972^nd in the world and 232^nd in Starlight for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 1,763.58 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
