The Empire of Marapy is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Mike Shinoda with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 4.229 billion Marapans 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 medium-sized, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Welfare are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lincoln. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 23.7%.
The strong Marapyian economy, worth 269 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 63,830 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.
For the sake of 'public interest' news programs tell viewers how to home-make Sarin gas bombs, a good deed is rewarded with a thank you note attached to a deportation order, prime commercial land is being swamped with archaeological teams, and the government keeps introducing new foreign species to combat the previous ones it has introduced. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Marapy's national animal is the Black Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Marapy is ranked 130,956th in the world and 1st in The Imperial Coalition for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 561.68 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
