The ㅤㅤㅤㅤ of Small Venezia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Loís Deleuze with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, state-planned economy, and triple-decker prams. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.126 billion Maracuchos 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Maracaibo and Paraguaipoa. The average income tax rate is 87.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Marabino economy, worth 108 trillion Silver Coins 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, extremely specialized black market in Basket Weaving 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 96,724 Silver Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Fistfighting vigilantes tend to suffer a lot of gunshot wounds, hunters have been known to lose limbs while attempting to 'play tag' with their prey, Brancalandian Brie isn't available anywhere in Small Venezia, and astronomers are flocking to Small Venezia to take advantage of its clear night skies. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Small Venezia's national animal is the Monkulonseerü, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catharism.

Small Venezia is ranked 228,385^th in the world and 4,819^th in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -4.34 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
