The Federal Republic of Saint Marco is a colossal, cultured nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.762 billion Marcoans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 32.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Marcoan economy, worth 269 trillion Rebuses a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 97,686 Rebuses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Not even adulthood can save you from truant officers, you don't need a smoking gun to arrest someone for promoting guns, lavish state dinners in Saint Marco City are the state's leading budgetary expenditure, and class action lawsuits have gone up in smoke thanks to government interference. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saint Marco's national animal is the Cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Sto cazzo.

Saint Marco is ranked 159,544^th in the world and 64^th in Sancturia for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 339.38 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
