The Kingdom of Marchiaa

“Long Live House of Roi”

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

The Kingdom of Marchiaa is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Sanda von Roi with an iron fist, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, zero percent divorce rate, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.231 billion Marchians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aurudo. The average income tax rate is 59.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Marchian economy, worth 253 trillion Assems a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an impressive 113,689 Assems, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Supermarkets and large corporate farms are a thing of the past, gun-wielding criminals always wear appropriate eye and ear protection, Sanda von Roi's exquisite office door is replaced monthly due to angry petitioners, and unprotected royals have replaced their corgis with rottweilers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Marchiaa's national animal is the Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Fulgurianism.

Marchiaa is ranked 23,966^th in the world and 1,438^th in Lazarus for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 6,515.67 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
