The Cornelian Dominion of Maritzal

“He Reigns, Therefore God Rules”

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

The Cornelian Dominion of Maritzal is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Cornelius I with an iron fist, and renowned for its smutty television, strictly enforced bedtime, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 21.532 billion Maritzalians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The tiny, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Meridian. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 63.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Maritzalian economy, worth an astonishing 11,871 trillion Pistas a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is a breathtaking 551,349 Pistas, with the richest citizens earning 8.9 times as much as the poorest.

Rumor has it Cornelius I has ass ears, children play a simplified version of hopscotch, gun ownership is compulsory, and international tribunals are called when Cornelius I breaks wind. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Maritzal's national animal is the Cat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Order Of Our Lord Cornelius.

Maritzal is ranked 67,172^nd in the world and 471^st in Europe for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,514.03 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
