The Empire of the Golden Throne of The Macabees is a behemoth, efficient nation, renowned for its flagrant waste-dumping, unlimited-speed roads, and complete lack of public education. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 50.575 billion Macabeans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, outspoken individuals juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Education. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Macabean economy, worth an astonishing 19,162 trillion Ríokmarks a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 378,887 Ríokmarks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,201,307 per year while the poor average 91,108, a ratio of 13.2 to 1.

The justice of The Macabees is considered superior to that of other nations, wealthy parents-to-be can select their perfect baby, production of license plates has dropped as prisoners' hands are far too greasy to operate machinery, and worship days have replaced sick days. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. The Macabees's national animal is the Imperial Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

The Macabees is ranked 1,411^th in the world and 7^th in Greater Dienstad for Highest Average Incomes, with 378,887.62 Standard Monetary Units.
