The Totalitarian State of Marse Sectime is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Canciller Suprema María la Pilarde with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 1.441 billion Marse Sectimeans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Lusitania. The average income tax rate is 52.8%.

The Marse Sectimean economy, worth 63.6 trillion Marse Sectimea'n Euros a year, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 44,123 Marse Sectimea'n Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Parole board directors light up a joint before telling hash-brownie baking grannies that they have to stay behind bars, severed limbs litter woodland edges across the land, Canciller Suprema María la Pilarde has just been declared ruler of Marse Sectime in an international press conference, and Canciller Suprema María la Pilarde is the self-declared God of all Marse Sectime. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Marse Sectime's national animal is the Leopard and its national religion is neo Falangism.
