The Empire of Maritimo is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 761 million Maritimoans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 34.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The Maritimoan economy, worth 55.4 trillion doubloons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Tourism, Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 72,857 doubloons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.
Helping grandma with her Misgendering 101 homework is a national rite of passage, a government program is underway to revitalize Maritimo's beaches, there is a growing belief that consciousness is a simulated illusion within a computer-generated reality, and autopsies often involve only cursory examination. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Maritimo's national animal is the octopus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.
Maritimo is ranked 198,925th in the world and 7th in Muralha for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 442.62 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
