The Republic of McDonaldland was founded in 1972 by Ronald McDonald and George W. McCheese on a small island off the coast of the first McDonald's restaurant, a small island filled with junk food growing in the wild.

McDonaldland is well known for its extraordinary agriculture of junk food inhabiting the wild.
