The State of Marion Morris is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The democratic population of 36.959 billion Marion Morrisians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal, outspoken government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 85.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Marion Morrisian economy, worth a remarkable 1,945 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 52,632 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

All industry is owned and run by the government, citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits, breastfeeding mothers are replacing smokers to loiter outside the workplace, and the military frequently holds bake sales to raise funds. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Marion Morris's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Marion Morris is ranked 142,029^th in the world and 624^th in State for Largest Black Market, with 1.29 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
