The State of MacHuston is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its suspicion of poets. The democratic population of 28.284 billion MacHustonians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Douglas Heights. The average income tax rate is 19.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong MacHustonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,249 trillion betales a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Pizza Delivery, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 44,179 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day, child labor has been outlawed, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and MacHuston has designated Douglas Heights as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. MacHuston's national animal is the deer.

MacHuston is ranked 262,781^st in the world and 10^th in Addis Ababa for Most Patriotic, with 1.15 flags saluted per person per day.
