The Corporate Federation of Maritzal is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by President Cornelius Crewes with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, prohibition of alcohol, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 17.543 billion Maritzalians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The tiny, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Meridian. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 75.7%.
The frighteningly efficient Maritzalian economy, worth a remarkable 9,049 trillion Pistas a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is a breathtaking 515,863 Pistas, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,487,554 per year while the poor average 142,012, a ratio of 10.5 to 1.
Children in school learn that marriage and slavery go hand in hand, manual labourers must be willing to have cybernetic limbs to get a job, there's a big brother in every prison, and youth rights demonstrations often end in vicious snowball fights. Crime is relatively low. Maritzal's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Maritzal is ranked 224,271st in the world and 1,203rd in Europe for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 33 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
