The Reformed Kingdom of New Marcia is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Alfonso II de Léon with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, hatred of cheese, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, devout population of 6.676 billion New Marcians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Healthcare, Law & Order, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Murcia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 44.2%.

The New Marcian economy, worth 321 trillion Marcias a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, Automobile Manufacturing, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 48,166 Marcias, with the richest citizens earning 9.5 times as much as the poorest.

Military training in New Marcia emphasizes the tactical advantages of stabbing backs, children seem to be getting better at lying these days, female smokers cut their hair and don suits to get into male-only clubs, and referenda are banned by law and the Parliament has absolute control of the legislative process. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Marcia's national animal is the Condor, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

New Marcia is ranked 213,397^th in the world and 3^rd in Oneid for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 26,876.83 Standard Monetary Units.
