The Transitional State of Macadia is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Supreme Premier Ronald Ambridge with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, pith helmet sales, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 5.999 billion Macadians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social and economic equality; they tend to view other countries as corrupted by the hollow pageantry of sham elections.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kayan City. The average income tax rate is 74.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Macadian economy, worth 539 trillion redbacks a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 89,854 redbacks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Frequent flyers are chiseled into statues, trade policy consists of ganging up on the new guy, the government subsidises medicines of mass destruction, and soldiers find that home gadgets and power tools are more effective as improvised weapons than the guns they've been issued. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Macadia's national animal is the donkey, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Macadia is ranked 10,052^nd in the world and 31^st in Conch Kingdom for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 5,508.54 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
