The Nomadic Peoples of The March Lion is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 448 million March Lionians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 40.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong March Lionian economy, worth 30.6 trillion shogi pieces a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 68,317 shogi pieces, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Bike rage is all the rage, a recent political speech drew the ire of nerds everywhere after the speaker claimed that Darth Vader was Harry Potter's father, the nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, and genocide is seen as a topic best avoided in history lessons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The March Lion's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The March Lion is ranked 93,433^rd in the world and 195^th in The Free Nations Region for Most Efficient Economies, scoring 72.44 on the Krugman-Greenspan Business Outlook Index.
