The Empire of Makko Oko is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Conall Solis with an iron fist, and notable for its parental licensing program, public floggings, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.01 billion Makkonians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, with Defense, Administration, and Education also on the agenda, while International Aid and Public Transport are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Opposh. The average income tax rate is 96.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Makkonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,264 trillion slottoes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 157,872 slottoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Kids are taught in schools to argue with their parents, research into 'designer babies' is banned, politicians are often seen drinking soft drinks at the end of every public address, and the question "please would you...?" is usually laden with passive aggression. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Makko Oko's national animal is the Phoenix, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Makko Oko is ranked 16,757^th in the world and 73^rd in Conch Kingdom for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 309.03 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
