The State of McCaig is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its absence of drug laws, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 30.833 billion McCaigians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Education, with Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Law & Order aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.9%.

The very strong McCaigian economy, worth a remarkable 1,250 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 40,546 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 275,668 per year while the poor average 2,178, a ratio of 126 to 1.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, the streets are increasingly clogged with poverty-stricken beggars, and McCaig has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. McCaig's national animal is the deer.

McCaig is ranked 88,627^th in the world and 1^st in Huntsville for Least Corrupt Governments, with 93.56 percentage of bribes refused.
