The State of McGregor is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 11.948 billion McGregorians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.5%.

The strong McGregorian economy, worth 642 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. Average income is 53,775 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 346,585 per year while the poor average 3,370, a ratio of 102 to 1.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, and McGregor has designated Westminster as its capital city. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. McGregor's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

McGregor is ranked 204,625^th in the world and 4^th in Pacific Union for Most Corrupt Governments, with 1.16 kickbacks per hour.
