The Community of Marble Statues is a titanic, cultured nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 17.126 billion Marble Statuesians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 67.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Marble Statuesian economy, worth a remarkable 1,619 trillion chisels 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 large, well-organized black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Gambling. 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 94,546 chisels, with the richest citizens earning 5.8 times as much as the poorest.

Holiday light displays just aren't the same without seizure-inducing strobe effects, Leader's former secretary was last sighted on her new yacht, the government is washing its hands of alleged corruption, and citizens know not to ask what their country can do for them but what they can do as chained slaves for their country. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Marble Statues's national animal is the asian bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Marble Statues is ranked 317,118^th in the world and 18^th in Greece for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 14.22 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
