The State of McKinnie is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by High Commissioner with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 38.056 billion McKinnieans 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 relatively small government prioritizes Law & Order, with Education, Welfare, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 14.1%.

The strong McKinniean economy, worth a remarkable 1,563 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 41,072 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Religious organizations are being forced to leave the country or pay income taxes like everybody else, foreigners are treated with great suspicion, McKinnie has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, and High Commissioner has just been declared ruler of McKinnie in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. McKinnie's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

McKinnie is ranked 177,952^nd in the world and 192^nd in State for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 6,890 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
