The Republic of McRoll is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Ronald McDonald with a fair hand, and renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.834 billion McRollians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of McDonalds. The average income tax rate is 56.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient McRollian economy, worth 806 trillion Big Macs a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 102,893 Big Macs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The police think a properly conducted criminal investigation is a real pain, extraordinary rendition is nothing out of the ordinary, people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, and polling place volunteers are suddenly opening a huge number of offshore bank accounts. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. McRoll's national animal is the Cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

McRoll is ranked 303,510^th in the world and 15^th in Shadow Legend for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 22.88 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
