The Grotesque Playground of Mackintosh is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Magnificent Bastard with an iron fist, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, free-roaming dinosaurs, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 47.389 billion Mackintoshians 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 minute, corrupt, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Defense, although Industry, Law & Order, and Education are also considered important, while Environment and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Wasteland. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Mackintoshian economy, worth an astonishing 36,958 trillion managerial prerogatives a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is a breathtaking 779,905 managerial prerogatives, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,623,309 per year while the poor average 100,883, a ratio of 35.9 to 1.

Dangerous criminals are often 'accidentally' sent on one-way trips to Maxtopia, the government denies any involvement in the release of the Hot Load computer virus, the nation has always been at war with Bigtopia, and the government is a proud sponsor of the National Gaming Association. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Mackintosh's national animal is the worker, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Roman Catholic.

Mackintosh is ranked 2,227^th in the world and 7^th in Wysteria for Largest Governments, scoring 53.9 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
