The Federative Republic of Marblania is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Samuel Howard with an even hand, and remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, avant-garde cinema, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 5.338 billion Marblanians 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Osterbruck. The average income tax rate is 91.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Marblanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,137 trillion Marblanian Dinars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 213,091 Marblanian Dinars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The phrase 'spreading like wildfire' is no longer in the public lexicon, the Forestry Department has decided you really can't fight fire with fire, Samuel Howard's peyote-induced "let's all just be friends" speech is trending world-wide, and heavily armed paramilitary teams are asked to please schedule an appointment. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Marblania's national animal is the Marblanian Dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Orthodoxy.

Marblania is ranked 9,551^st in the world and 2^nd in Aeternas for Highest Average Incomes, with 213,091.85 Standard Monetary Units.
