The ㅤㅤㅤㅤ of Small Venezia is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Loís Deleuze with an iron fist, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, feral children, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.377 billion Maracuchos are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Maracaibo and Paraguaipoa. The average income tax rate is 92.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Marabino economy, worth 361 trillion Cobres a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Basket Weaving, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an impressive 152,008 Cobres, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is giving peace a chance, 'A is for Annulment' is a popular children's song, police pull people off the street for even mentioning the word plane, and executions are marked by quiet dignity and maybe a final round or two of whist. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Small Venezia's national animal is the Monkulonseerü, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Manichaeism.

Small Venezia is ranked 285,388^th in the world and 5,200^th in The North Pacific for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 11,856.65 Standard Monetary Units.
