The ㅤㅤㅤㅤ of Small Venezia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Loís Deleuze with an iron fist, and remarkable for its lack of airports, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.19 billion Maracuchos are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Maracaibo and Paraguaipoa. The average income tax rate is 88.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Marabino economy, worth 118 trillion Silver Coins a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, extremely specialized black market in Basket Weaving and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 99,577 Silver Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Fireworks and other big bangs are forbidden during the newest public holiday, increasing inclusiveness is a sign of the times, babies are a small but significant export, and the overhead luggage compartment is often full. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Small Venezia's national animal is the Monkulonseerü, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catharism.
Small Venezia is ranked 37,151st in the world and 896th in The North Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 33.93 flags saluted per person per day.
