The Allied States of Mount McKinley is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by William McKinley with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 2.611 billion Mount McKinleyians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Denali. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13.0%.

The strong Mount McKinleyian economy, worth 161 trillion Silver Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 62,014 Silver Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 209,533 per year while the poor average 13,575, a ratio of 15.4 to 1.

Scoutmasters debate whether luxury log cabins defeat the purpose of camping, the homeless more often beg for mercy than money, Mr Happy's Funland has just been named Mount McKinley's new capital, and William McKinley has just been declared ruler of Mount McKinley in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mount McKinley's national animal is the Mule, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mount McKinley is ranked 86,874^th in the world and 5^th in Hurricane 12 for Most Patriotic, with 16.59 flags saluted per person per day.
