The Kingdom of Machalas is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Bryan Stanley with an even hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working population of 1.348 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 Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Machanda. The average income tax rate is 58.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Machaleño economy, worth 158 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 117,841 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

The contraband cigarette trade is lighting up across Machalas, priceless Maxtopian artwork can often be found in executive bathrooms, there's often a little nagging voice suggesting that parents aren't keeping their kids safe, and truncheon-mounted cameras record the beating of criminals in dynamic HD detail. 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 274,511^th in the world and 5,935^th in The North Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 0.64 flags saluted per person per day.
