The Holy Empire of Marbieth

“Justice, Piety, Loyalty”

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

The Holy Empire of Marbieth is a huge, genial nation, ruled by His Imperial Majesty Emperor Lars XIV with an even hand, and renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, ubiquitous missile silos, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 757 million Marbiethians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint Francisburg. The average income tax rate is 73.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Marbiethian economy, worth 62.7 trillion kronor a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 82,767 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Lawyers turn down litigation cases and corporate work in order to focus on lucrative public defence work, the price of takeaway food quadruples after 6pm, prisoners due for execution often use their final statement to complain about soggy bread rolls, and His Imperial Majesty Emperor Lars XIV has just been declared ruler of Marbieth in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Marbieth's national animal is the bison, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Marbieth is ranked 17,005^th in the world and 31^st in Aesica for Most Cultured, scoring 93 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
