The Archipelago 🌊 of Marinho Islands is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Melanie Costa with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, state-planned economy, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 5.795 billion Marinos hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cidade de Marinho. The average income tax rate is 98.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Marino economy, worth 982 trillion Marino reais a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 169,625 Marino reais, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's generous tax credits have brought all the film studios to the yard, burning twigs to keep warm while lost in the wild is now a felony, theatre audiences often need a telescope to see the stage, and the nation faces constant invasions by foreign boy bands. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Marinho Islands's national animal is the Maned sloth, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Secularism.

Marinho Islands is ranked 268,069^th in the world and 12,465^th in the South Pacific for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring -576.58 on the Hayek Index.
