The Islas of Maroriente is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Marina East with a fair hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, otherworldly petting zoo, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 10.716 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, 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 13.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Marorientine economy, worth a remarkable 2,928 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 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 273,256 🏅oroes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prisoners work-share to cut down rising costs of keeping them in jail, the canal flows through the land like a twisty turny thing, lobotomised jaywalkers can barely ambulate let alone repeat their offences, and hospitals have to sell their computers on vBay in order to afford the ransomware decryption payments. 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 269^th in the world and 2^nd in Refugia for Highest Drug Use, scoring 422.13 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
