The Emirate of Marjestan is a large, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 155 million Marjestanis are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Spirituality, with Law & Order and Defense also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 50.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Marjestani economy, worth 5.09 trillion rials a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Pizza Delivery, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 32,820 rials, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Marjestan's national animal is the golden safhaaz lion.

Marjestan is ranked 287,689^th in the world and 7^th in The Sunset Refuge for Highest Average Incomes, with 32,820.51 Standard Monetary Units.
