The Republic of Markla

“In tutela nostra Markla”

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

The Republic of Markla is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Alexis Lindholm with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.827 billion Marklans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Markla City. The average income tax rate is 33.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Marklan economy, worth 216 trillion marks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 118,727 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Folk are absolutely certain that you can never be absolutely certain, the government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments, mystics are claiming that a simultaneous rise in scepticism and education budgets is correlation rather than causation, and evasive politicians don't fail to strongly commit to not committing to a course of non-inaction. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Markla's national animal is the orca, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Markla is ranked 25,909^th in the world and 854^th in the South Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 6,010.66 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
