The Empire of Maratha Raj is a titanic, cultured nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, pith helmet sales, and frequent executions. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 20.809 billion Maratha Rajians 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 Law & Order, Spirituality, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pune. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 27.2%.

The powerhouse Maratha Rajian economy, worth a remarkable 1,971 trillion rupiyahs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 94,732 rupiyahs, with the richest citizens earning 8.2 times as much as the poorest.

Doctors refer to inner-cities as newbie zones, country folk are sent to obligatory boarding schools to learn how to be civilized, the men in trenchcoats hanging around playgrounds are actually police officers, and the government mails weekly updates on the new anti-junk mail laws to every citizen. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Maratha Raj's national animal is the elephant and its national religion is Hinduism.

Maratha Raj is ranked 30,746^th in the world and 1^st in The Scrapyard for Nicest Citizens, with 19.85 average smiles per day.
