The Anime Captain of Makasta17 is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its teetotalling pirates, remarkably easy parental licensing program, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 13.15 billion Makasta17ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 48.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Makasta17ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,595 trillion kronor a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 121,335 kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Anyone with an emergency on a holy day is advised to pray harder, recapturing giraffes is proving to be a tall order, consumption of cat memes has skyrocketed, and those who sing the national anthem off-key have the key thrown away. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Makasta17's national animal is the cobra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Makasta17 is ranked 70,032^nd in the world and 1^st in simul for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,475.77 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
