The Inpero Federale of Makaab is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by High Jinx with a fair hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, national health service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 2.638 billion Makaabis hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jesteir. The average income tax rate is 95.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Makaabi economy, worth 398 trillion Caprins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 151,190 Caprins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Resident physicians are said to have a silver scalpel in their hands, businesses are required to round down their profits, the image of Makaab's future is just a picture from last century, and criminals lock themselves in their mums' basements to avoid prison. Crime is totally unknown. Makaab's national animal is the Caprini Goat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Makaab is ranked 260,438^th in the world and 467^th in Starlight for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -6.45 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
