The United Computer States of Macworld is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Nancy Barba with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 30.352 billion Macicans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The minute, liberal, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lincoln AD. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Macican economy, worth a remarkable 8,901 trillion Macworld Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 293,282 Macworld Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Political spontaneity takes a lot of planning, nine-year-olds are discovering that they can grow gardens in real life too, stocks go up when the internet says so, and a town hall is called each time a kid asks how far away the sun is. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Macworld's national animal is the German Shepherd Dog, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Mixed.

Macworld is ranked 69^th in the world and 3^rd in Lazarus for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 19,964.39 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
