The People's Republic of Fort McKinley is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Morris Young with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, triple-decker prams, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 4.554 billion Mackies are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shiloh Springs. The average income tax rate is 80.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The strong Fort Mackie economy, worth 343 trillion Brass Tacks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 75,342 Brass Tacks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Banning party poppers has been a real party pooper, even the nation's brussel sprouts are delicious and nutritious, convicts released after being found "wrongfully imprisoned" are surprisingly chill about the whole thing, and funeral directors are frequently looking at their watches during funerals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fort McKinley's national animal is the three toed sloth, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Comrade Dr Lester Allens Will.
Fort McKinley is ranked 291,066th in the world and 75th in Atlantian Oceania for Most Stationary, with 2.7766648896 days.
