The Federation of Marthuania is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Marius Kravtsjenko Oktyabrskiy with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, cheerful population of 21.756 billion Marthuanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pravda. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Marthuanian economy, worth an astonishing 10,295 trillion Crowns a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 473,212 Crowns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Manufacturers of biodegradable plastics have to wait for months to show evidence of organic decomposition, in life full of care there is no time to stop and stare, youth rights demonstrations often end in vicious snowball fights, and skateparks can be found in every city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Marthuania's national animal is the bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Marthuania is ranked 441^st in the world and 5^th in Confederation of Corrupt Dictators for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 23,063.3 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
