The Oppressed Peoples of The Army of the Marsh is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by François Athanase Charette de La Contrie with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings and compulsory military service. The cynical, devout population of 10.747 billion Retzians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Spirituality, although Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Machecoul. The average income tax rate is 19.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Retzian economy, worth 549 trillion Crowns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 51,104 Crowns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Increasing numbers of children in The Army of the Marsh have different eye and hair color to their supposed fathers, sex offenders find themselves cut off from the ability to repeat their crimes, love is a precious butterfly to be crushed under diplomatic protocol, and stealing from a clothesline is a serious offence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Army of the Marsh's national animal is the Stoat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

The Army of the Marsh is ranked 155,960th in the world and 18th in Warzone Asia for Most Stationary, with 140.58150725 days.
