The People's Republic of San Marsico is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its daily referendums, otherworldly petting zoo, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 336 million San Marsicoans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Roiwek. The average income tax rate is 37.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient San Marsicoan economy, worth 15.6 trillion Kyixes a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 46,531 Kyixes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Advertisements read like science journal articles complete with extensive references, there's nothing more rock-and-roll than absolute sobriety, engineers ask liberal arts majors "Do you want fries with that?", and athletic teenagers are among the wealthiest members of society. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. San Marsico's national animal is the Savtik, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

San Marsico is ranked 53,259^th in the world and 1,172^nd in the South Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 671.89 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
