The Armed Republic of Marghiya is a large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, ban on automobiles, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 124 million Marghiyan are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 76.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Marghiyayi economy, worth 3.64 trillion Labour Hours a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 29,319 Labour Hours, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military equipment stores have a tendency to go up in flames, the sudden proliferation of nuclear weapons is very queer, all work and no play has rendered the nation's children somewhat intelligent but also remarkably dull, and all tribal children are set for life with guaranteed government jobs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Marghiya's national animal is the Golden Jackal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Marghiya is ranked 242,656^th in the world and 635^th in The Leftist Assembly for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -3.57 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
