The Parliament of The Martelex Islands is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Prime Minister Dwight Raymond with a fair hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, zero percent divorce rate, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic population of 14.986 billion Martelexians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ciudad. The average income tax rate is 85.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Martelexian economy, worth a remarkable 1,442 trillion Martels a year, is highly specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 96,286 Martels, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The consent form for routine blood pressure measurement has been nominated for the 'Novel Of The Year' award, the nation is currently revamping its entire education system, people who have had childhood imaginary friends are told they can't ever be trusted with guns, and delivery truck companies use hospital parking lots to store 16-wheelers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Martelex Islands's national animal is the Tropical Pigeon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

The Martelex Islands is ranked 39,794th in the world and 547th in the Rejected Realms for Most Stationary, with 1,136.86977240288 days.
