“Glory to Marthuania!”

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

The Federation of Marthuania is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Marius Kravtsjenko Oktyabrskiy with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, infamous sell-swords, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cheerful population of 22.991 billion Marthuanians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pravda. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Marthuanian economy, worth an astonishing 11,007 trillion Crowns a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 478,786 Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Grinding bureaucracy has the international wheels of justice turning slowly, military spending is on the increase, administrative districts are increasingly defined by their taste in housing architecture, and employers are finding it hard to screen candidates now that everyone gets A grades in their exams. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Marthuania's national animal is the bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Marthuania is ranked 94,756^th in the world and 86^th in Forest for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 3,235.8 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
