The ㅤㅤㅤㅤ of Small Venezia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Loís Deleuze with an iron fist, and notable for its ban on automobiles, zero percent divorce rate, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.638 billion Maracuchos are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Maracaibo and Paraguaipoa. The average income tax rate is 92.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Marabino economy, worth 400 trillion Cobres a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an impressive 151,841 Cobres, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military funding has been stripped back, national park visitors are reporting a rash of poison ivy sightings, a popular phrase is "eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we eat, drink and be merry some more", and expectant parents view twins with equal parts joy and suspicion. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Small Venezia's national animal is the Monkulonseerü, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Manichaeism.

Small Venezia is ranked 328,394th in the world and 5,651st in The North Pacific for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring -22.76 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
