The Stratego Nation of Maarschalk is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Maarschalk with an even hand, and notable for its enslaved workforce, unlimited-speed roads, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 25.234 billion Maarschalkians 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Maarschalk City. The average income tax rate is 78.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Maarschalkian economy, worth a remarkable 1,305 trillion Strategoes a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, extremely specialized black market in Woodchip Exports 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 51,743 Strategoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The military is on a massive recruiting drive in advance of an invasion of Brasilistan, troop transports blacken the sky as the military commences Operation Desert Ocean, the nation's armed forces are recruiting thousands to help colonise Brasilistan, and the nation has gained millions of new citizens overnight. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Maarschalk's national animal is the horse, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Militarism.

Maarschalk is ranked 1,670th in the world and 58th in Vlaanderen for Most Stationary, with 4,217.705634 days.
