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

The Republic of Land of Mari is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Vance Guy with a fair hand, and remarkable for its soft-spoken computers, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 6.408 billion Land of Marians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Annapaltimore. The average income tax rate is 99.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Land of Marian economy, worth a remarkable 1,256 trillion Old Bays a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 196,109 Old Bays, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Minority children spend hours bussing to schools miles away from home, teachers are skilled at leaving no evidence of child cruelty, the government has spent days debating the merits of a petition calling for a ban on sporks, and fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets. Crime is totally unknown. Land of Mari's national animal is the Crab, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Land of Mari is ranked 1,639^th in the world and 45^th in the South Pacific for Highest Food Quality, scoring 301.02 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
