The State of Mackenzie Valley is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by the Governor with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, punitive income tax rates, and suspicion of poets. The hard-working, democratic population of 46.926 billion Mackenzie Valleyians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. The average income tax rate is 58.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Mackenzie Valleyian economy, worth a remarkable 2,969 trillion betales a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 63,280 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Mackenzie Valley has designated Westminster as its capital city, the nation's favourite colour is blue (Mackenzie Valley has found 1 easter egg), major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day, and the only soporific permitted during sermons is the preacher's voice. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mackenzie Valley's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Mackenzie Valley is ranked 97,625^th in the world and 1^st in Mackenzie Valley for Most Developed, scoring 62.31 on the Human Development Index.
