The Kingdom of Machalas is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Bryan Stanley with an even hand, and remarkable for its public floggings, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working population of 1.291 billion Machaleñoes have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Machanda. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 53.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Machaleño economy, worth 154 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 119,985 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 6.5 times as much as the poorest.

Scaffolding is built around scaffolding to give safe access, the poor are forced into bankruptcy by their energy bills, businesses are forced to bring all work back within the nation's borders, and Bryan Stanley lights cigars with a hundred-dollar bill. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Machalas's national animal is the Leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cristanlismo.

Machalas is ranked 140,407^th in the world and 2,988^th in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 619.93 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
