The Imperium of Marquesan is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Felix I with a fair hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 22.544 billion Marquesans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
The tiny, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Healthcare, Industry, and Education also on the agenda, while Welfare and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nuku Hiva. The average income tax rate is 1.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Marquesan economy, worth a remarkable 4,615 trillion Aureuses a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Gambling. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 204,728 Aureuses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.
Document forgery is a critical skill for would-be politicians, new "Worker's Strike" laws set out who is allowed to strike a worker, the best way to be heard in politics is to speak softly and carry a big comedy prop, and news headlines usually include p-values. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Marquesan's national animal is the Red-Crowned Crane, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Drekanity.
Marquesan is ranked 291,769th in the world and 19th in Esvanovia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 13.52 law-abiding acts per hour.
