The United Computer States of Macworld is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Nancy Barba with a fair hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, museums and concert halls, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 30.384 billion Macicans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The minute, liberal, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lincoln AD. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Macican economy, worth a remarkable 8,910 trillion Macworld Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 293,266 Macworld Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Political spontaneity takes a lot of planning, nine-year-olds are discovering that they can grow gardens in real life too, stocks go up when the internet says so, and a town hall is called each time a kid asks how far away the sun is. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Macworld's national animal is the German Shepherd Dog, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Mixed.

Macworld is ranked 5,447^th in the world and 266^th in Lazarus for Smartest Citizens, with 124.76 quips per hour.
