The Matriarchy of Mariflores is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Her Matriarch Mari of Flores with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, ban on automobiles, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.645 billion Marifloresians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Garden of Flores. The average income tax rate is 92.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Marifloresian economy, worth 174 trillion Ains 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 led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 105,797 Ains, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Her Matriarch Mari of Flores's power is effectively nullified as no bill becomes law without the upper house's support, sea side cafes are required by law to close during summer, astronauts take one small step for Mariflores and one giant step backward from confrontation, and large sections of Mariflores have been named national reserves to protect the native tribes living there. Crime is totally unknown. Mariflores's national animal is the Death's-Head HawkMoth, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Mariflores is ranked 2,793^rd in the world and 6^th in The Frontier Sea for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 8,111.59 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
