Macay (Sinese: 马柯; pinyin: Mǎkē), officially the Kingdom of Macay, is an island country in the West Orient. Macay is located off the south-western coast of Sina. Other neighbouring countries include Hoenn to the north-west and Manila to the south. The island of Macay has an area of 36,947 square kilometres (22,958 sq mi), with a highly urbanised population concentrated on the eastern coast of the island. Minchien is the capital and largest metropolitan area. Other major cities include Tsingtao, Chang'an and Tungchou. Macay is one of the most densely populated and urbanised states in the world, with over 90% of its population living in urban areas.

The island of Macay was first inhabited by the Macanese indigenous peoples, who migrated to the island around 6,000 years ago. Han Sinese began to settle on the island in the 12th Century. The Han kingdom of Macay was established around 1226 by Ch'eng Ching.
