The State of MacEwing is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, national health service, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 45.977 billion MacEwingians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Industry, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Central Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.0%.

The powerhouse MacEwingian economy, worth a remarkable 3,063 trillion betales a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Furniture Restoration, and Information Technology. Average income is 66,623 betales, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 339,590 per year while the poor average 7,209, a ratio of 47.1 to 1.

The government is spending millions to provide full health care for all citizens, former stunt pilots are unable to pass the licence test to fly a drone, many friends and relatives of the Governor have been given ambassador jobs in tropical island nations, and interest rates mysteriously drop whenever the CBM Governor goes house hunting. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. MacEwing's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

MacEwing is ranked 32,802^nd in the world and 1^st in MacEwing for Fattest Citizens, with 15.12 Obesity Rate.
