The Democratic Republic of Marinxa is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Alvarones with a fair hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, national health service, and lack of airports. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 9.078 billion Marinxans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Xarin. The average income tax rate is 96.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Marinxan economy, worth a remarkable 1,383 trillion almines 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 152,423 almines, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Formerly internationally exported goods are now given away for free, the digital money revolution has cashed out, graffiti is done with immaculate multi-layer shading, and criminals identify as innocent. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Marinxa's national animal is the swan, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Marinxa is ranked 4,440^th in the world and 221^st in Lazarus for Most Developed, scoring 95.31 on the Human Development Index.
