The State of Martinis is a titanic, orderly nation, renowned for its restrictive gun laws and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 21.868 billion Martinisians 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 medium-sized, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 30.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Martinisian economy, worth 73.7 trillion betales a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Pizza Delivery. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 3,368 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Martinis's national animal is the deer.

Martinis is ranked 301,071^st in the world and 1^st in Martinis for Rudest Citizens, with 10.55 insults per minute.
