The United Peoples Democratic RE of New Makasta is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by High Supreme General Hoszt Enisten with an iron fist, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, aversion to nipples, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 12.599 billion Makastians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Deeka. The average income tax rate is 95.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Makastiantin economy, worth a remarkable 7,973 trillion Delta eagles a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is a breathtaking 632,835 Delta eagles, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 5,076,345 per year while the poor average 18,260, a ratio of 278 to 1.

Citizens who become homeless are immediately executed, teddy bear James Dean (aka "the Rebel Without the Claws") helps convince kids that candy cigarettes are cool, teenage male videogamers often suffer repetitive strain wrist injuries, and the studies of art and philosophy are banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Makasta's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Atheism.

New Makasta is ranked 44,040th in the world and 10th in The League for Most Stationary, with 1,001.85416436848 days.
