The Republic of Maariko is a mammoth, cultured nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 7.098 billion Maarikovians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Warsu. The average income tax rate is 24.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Maarikovian economy, worth 761 trillion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 107,311 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is said that the captain goes down with the ship but ecological protection goes up, elementary school children develop thousand-yard stares, schoolchildren must pass a six-month Ethics and Safety Committee Assessment before they are allowed to mix baking soda and vinegar, and the invisible hand of the market wipes babies' bottoms. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Maariko's national animal is the Cougar, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Christianity.

Maariko is ranked 29,719^th in the world and 361^st in Europe for Highest Poor Incomes, with 75,515.27 Standard Monetary Units.
