The Federation of Marthuania is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Marius Kravtsjenko Oktyabrskiy with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cheerful population of 26.433 billion Marthuanians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed, including voting. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pravda. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Marthuanian economy, worth an astonishing 12,670 trillion Crowns a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 479,346 Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Public buses smell like litter boxes, the nation has nearly as many history museums as Marthuanians, the army lives rent-free in foreigners' heads and houses, and it is mandatory to learn evolution in schools. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Marthuania's national animal is the bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Marthuania is ranked 133^rd in the world and 3^rd in Forest for Lowest Crime Rates, with 275.19 law-abiding acts per hour.
