The Kingdom of Machalas is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Bryan Stanley with an iron fist, and notable for its parental licensing program, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 1.266 billion Machaleñoes are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

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 54.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Machaleño economy, worth 150 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 118,879 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 8.6 times as much as the poorest.

The nation has welcomed its expats back with open arms, sales of disinfectant wipes have skyrocketed, the police go to great efforts to seize contraband favored by politicians on the police oversight committee, and one can walk from one side of Machanda to the other without setting foot on Machaleño soil. 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 104,269^th in the world and 2,347^th in The North Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,979.1 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
