The Kingdom of Macindor is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 512 million Macindorians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Macindor DC. The average income tax rate is 52.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Macindorian economy, worth 48.3 trillion Makis a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 94,346 Makis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Liberals and conservatives try to disqualify each other's candidates on the grounds that "their ideas would never work in the real world", citizens are regularly found digging for treasure in their gardens, military equipment stores have a tendency to go up in flames, and the blind lead the blind in social welfare. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Macindor's national animal is the Horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Macindor is ranked 55,626^th in the world and 275^th in Europeia for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 134.72 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
