The Semi-Automatic Pistol of MK23 is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its deadly medical pandemics, enslaved workforce, and complete lack of public education. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 3.272 billion MK23ians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, although Defense is also considered important, while Environment and Welfare aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3.4%.

The frighteningly efficient MK23ian economy, worth 443 trillion ringgits a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Arms Manufacturing, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is an impressive 135,680 ringgits, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,223,857 per year while the poor average 1,837, a ratio of 665 to 1.

A child's only Trickster Night scare is the sight of their parents dancing, thousands of children die every day from easily curable illnesses, nobody is allowed to stop the local daycare from reading Nietzsche to pre-schoolers, and childhood friends of Leader are living it large abroad at the taxpayers' expense. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. MK23's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

MK23 is ranked 18,208^th in the world and 265^th in Herta Space Station for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 7,991.17 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
