The Duncan MacLeod Immortality of The Highlander 1 is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Awakening with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, deadly medical pandemics, and daily referendums. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 48.487 billion Highlanders 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 medium-sized, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Industry, although Education, Administration, and Welfare are also considered important, while Law & Order and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Glenfinnan Scotland. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 90.6%.

The frighteningly efficient The Highlander economy, worth an astonishing 19,347 trillion Severed Heads a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Retail, Book Publishing, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 399,034 Severed Heads, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,430,112 per year while the poor average 79,851, a ratio of 17.9 to 1.

Daredevil kayakers frequently race against runaway hippos, the only crimes that get investigated are doughnut heists, country folk are sent to obligatory boarding schools to learn how to be civilized, and turnstile jumpers grow up to be tax cheats. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. The Highlander 1's national animal is the Awakening, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Quickening.

The Highlander 1 is ranked 26,669^th in the world and 538^th in NationStates for Highest Poor Incomes, with 79,851.06 Standard Monetary Units.
