The Federation of Markanista is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Viktor Holstron with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 4.01 billion Markanistans 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, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Administration, Education, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Holsord. The average income tax rate is 90.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Markanistan economy, worth 751 trillion Markian Lire a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 187,480 Markian Lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sex changes are routinely performed at Markanista's hospitals, petting zoos have loose fingers strewn about, money that should have gone to charities is instead spent on monitoring them, and vegetables are crisper thanks to CRISPR. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Markanista's national animal is the Goat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is State Atheism.

Markanista is ranked 23,381^st in the world and 72^nd in 10000 Islands for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 7,675.01 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
