The Republic of Marvinville is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its hatred of cheese, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 5.493 billion Marvinvilleans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — prioritizes Healthcare, although Education, Environment, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. The average income tax rate is 74.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Marvinvillean economy, worth 162 trillion Dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 29,594 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is making attempts at curtailing the flood of spam emails with little progress, the arms industry is backed by government subsidies and harsh anti-protest laws are in place, the nation's faithful often say there is a higher power watching over them, and good-looking soldier boys have celebrity status amongst the nation's homosexuals. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Marvinville's national animal is the Hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Marvinville is ranked 237,183^rd in the world and 269^th in Thaecia for Most Avoided, scoring 1.29 on the Kardashian Reflex Score.
