The Southern Ring Republic of Macrasetia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Imperatrix Pacis Celina Karisea with a fair hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, sprawling nuclear power plants, and national health service. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 6.402 billion Macrasetians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cerilaiva. The average income tax rate is 98.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Macrasetian economy, worth a remarkable 2,187 trillion pescas a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 341,628 pescas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Everybody's got wood thanks to Imperatrix Pacis Celina Karisea, 90% of active duty MAF personnel have been laid off and replaced by robot kill-drones, election results are often delayed for weeks to count the expat votes, and truancy is as easy as clicking a camera icon. Crime is totally unknown. Macrasetia's national animal is the hellbender, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Macraesiph.

Macrasetia is ranked 1,837^th in the world and 31^st in 10000 Islands for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 71.72 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
