The Rogue Nation of Far Marchen is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, prohibition of alcohol, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic population of 569 million Marchers are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The enormous, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Healthcare, and Environment also on the agenda, while Defense and Spirituality are ignored. The average income tax rate is 74.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The Far Marchenian economy, worth 34.2 trillion denars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 60,028 denars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The pursuit of wanted criminals ends at the entrance of the pay'n'spray garage as police refuse to enter any private property, a video of Leader wearing shock-blue face paint and smashing an electric guitar in front of a frenzied crowd is on endless repeat on the nightly news, the horniness of the great-horned maned wolf is considered a national priority, and directors of low-budget sci-fi films are flocking to use Far Marchen City as a backdrop. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Far Marchen's national animal is the maned wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Far Marchen is ranked 104,563rd in the world and 64th in Ridgefield for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 64.06 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
