The State of J E Marlowe

“Survivor”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The State of J E Marlowe is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and renowned for its complete lack of public education, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 26.697 billion J E Marloweans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The minute, liberal, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.7%.

The very strong J E Marlowean economy, worth a remarkable 1,100 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 41,226 betales, with the richest citizens earning 7.5 times as much as the poorest.

The streets are increasingly clogged with poverty-stricken beggars, J E Marlowe has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, the Governor has just been declared ruler of J E Marlowe in an international press conference, and the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. J E Marlowe's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

J E Marlowe is ranked 264,151^st in the world and 4^th in Tashkent for Lowest Crime Rates, with 42.51 law-abiding acts per hour.
