The Most Serene Republic of Margila Islands

“A republic if you can keep it”

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

The Most Serene Republic of Margila Islands is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its national health service, unlimited-speed roads, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 571 million Margila Islanders hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Amsterdam. The average income tax rate is 63.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Margila Islandian economy, worth 47.1 trillion Guilders a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is 82,483 Guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There's nothing more gay than bleeding for your nation, signatures have been replaced with illegible scribbles, burial ceremonies have become as routinised as tax forms, and criminals rejoice in the streets as the entire police force is sent away on a training retreat. Crime is totally unknown. Margila Islands's national animal is the Behemoth, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Margila Islands is ranked 149,874^th in the world and 5,127^th in the South Pacific for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 29,941.42 Standard Monetary Units.
