The Inpero Federale of Makaab is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by High Jinx with a fair hand, and renowned for its vat-grown people, national health service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 2.712 billion Makaabis hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jesteir. The average income tax rate is 95.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Makaabi economy, worth 411 trillion Caprins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 151,780 Caprins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Earthquake sirens are a leading cause of hearing loss, nine-year-olds are discovering that they can grow gardens in real life too, sweat stains are proof of political acumen, and a degree in High Jinx Science with a Minor in Awesomeology starts many political careers. Crime is totally unknown. Makaab's national animal is the Caprini Goat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Makaab is ranked 322,098^th in the world and 507^th in Starlight for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 20.19 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
