The Islas of Maroriente is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Marina East with a fair hand, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, compulsory military service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 10.585 billion Marorienteños hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of 🏝️ Isla del Este. The average income tax rate is 9.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Marorientine economy, worth a remarkable 2,844 trillion 🏅oroes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 268,726 🏅oroes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Every child sleeps with a gun to protect themselves from the monster under the bed, students who do not recite the national anthem each morning have to drop and give their teacher 50, beating enemies to death with a baseball bat is legal if done within nine innings, and government policies change at the drop of a rabbit. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Maroriente's national animal is the 🦭sea lion, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is 💧 Adoración al agua.

Maroriente is ranked 20,490^th in the world and 112^th in Refugia for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 3,310.75 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
