The State of Maravie

“God, Homeland, Liberty”

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

The State of Maravie is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 11.443 billion Maravieans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.9%.

The strong Maraviean economy, worth 517 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Soda Sales, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 45,266 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 141,378 per year while the poor average 11,125, a ratio of 12.7 to 1.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, employers may fire workers without giving any reason, military funding has been stripped back, and the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Maravie's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Maravie is ranked 250,264^th in the world and 5^th in Heavenly Palace for Lowest Crime Rates, with 51.85 law-abiding acts per hour.
