The State of McCrady is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 15.729 billion McCradyians 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 Defense, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.8%.

The very strong McCradyian economy, worth 828 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. Average income is 52,689 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 339,589 per year while the poor average 3,302, a ratio of 102 to 1.

The automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts and McCrady has designated Westminster as its capital city. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. McCrady's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

McCrady is ranked 288,020^th in the world and 7^th in Glasgow for Lowest Crime Rates, with 35.14 law-abiding acts per hour.
