The Inpero Federale of Makaab is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by High Jinx with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 2.584 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 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 95.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Makaabi economy, worth 384 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 148,803 Caprins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's museums are real penny-pinchers, the Treasury has been accused of flushing money down the toilet, government officials are held to the highest standard of morality, and high-income earners pay a 100% tax rate. 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 159,123^rd in the world and 287^th in Starlight for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 347.02 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
