The Federative Republic of Marblania is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Samuel Howard with an even hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, digital currency, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 5.518 billion Marblanians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Osterbruck. The average income tax rate is 92.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Marblanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,196 trillion Marblanian Dinars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 216,900 Marblanian Dinars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Holiday light displays just aren't the same without seizure-inducing strobe effects, the running costs of homeless shelters are so high that it would be cheaper to buy houses for the homeless, the Supreme Court vehemently protects civil rights and the right to privacy, and judicial torture is outsourced overseas. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Marblania's national animal is the Marblanian Dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Orthodoxy.

Marblania is ranked 4,457^th in the world and 2^nd in Aeternas for Most Developed, scoring 95.44 on the Human Development Index.
