The Nation of the Fellows of Marnrio is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Dolf Weltevreden with a fair hand, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, national health service, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 9.114 billion Maroonians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Industry, with Healthcare, Environment, and Administration also on the agenda, while Welfare receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Technologic Capital Maroondam. The average income tax rate is 38.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Maroonian economy, worth 906 trillion Digitcurrency and Terran Currencies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Tourism, Information Technology, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 99,441 Digitcurrency and Terran Currencies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Laser-wielding robots are taking aim at human hearts, survivors of the Great Internet Flame War often recount horror stories of banhammers and DOS attacks, autopsies often involve only cursory examination, and the new coalition government is so large nobody knows where it begins. Crime is almost non-existent. Marnrio's national animal is the Digitanimal, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Catholicism and Computeship.

Marnrio is ranked 310,846^th in the world and 3,871^st in the South Pacific for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring -5.48 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
