The State of MacFadden is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Governor with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, keen interest in outer space, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 43.922 billion MacFaddenians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.9%.

The very strong MacFaddenian economy, worth a remarkable 2,445 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Pizza Delivery, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 55,670 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 378,491 per year while the poor average 2,991, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits, abortions are routinely performed in MacFadden's hospitals, MacFadden has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, and the Governor has just been declared ruler of MacFadden in an international press conference. Crime is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. MacFadden's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

MacFadden is ranked 80,459^th in the world and 1^st in MacFadden for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,878.6 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
