“Libertas, Iustitia, Concordia”

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

The Republic of Marcellinople is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Consul Marcus Aurelius with a fair hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, frequent executions, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 33.98 billion Marcellinopleans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The minute, liberal government, or what there is of one, is dominated by the Department of Education, with Environment and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Marcellinople Urbs. The average income tax rate is 1.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Marcellinoplean economy, worth a remarkable 8,381 trillion Denarii Marcellis a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 246,646 Denarii Marcellis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Saturday morning cartoons feature full frontal nudity, blue sky thinkers are reminded that the firmament is actually more of a grey-ish colour, the countryside is shrouded by wind farms, and the optimally efficient parking strategy for business commuters is referred to as the "traveling salesman problem". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Marcellinople's national animal is the Hamster, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Marcellinople is ranked 104,728^th in the world and 2,363^rd in Lazarus for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,435.6 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
