The Empire of Marquantiland is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Emperor Saewon II with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, anti-smoking policies, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working population of 3.493 billion Marquantilandians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Marquanti City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 51.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Marquantilandian economy, worth 478 trillion Marquantian Markanis a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 137,041 Marquantian Markanis, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.

Official government guidance encourages binge behaviors, big game hunters travel to Marquantiland to try their hand at shark-shooting, it's often raining men (hallelujah) in Marquanti City, and small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Marquantiland's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is State Atheism.

Marquantiland is ranked 117,586^th in the world and 5,816^th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 63.96 law-abiding acts per hour.
