The Commonwealth of Maryina is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, prohibition of alcohol, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.252 billion Maryinans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of archstyle. The average income tax rate is 42.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Maryinan economy, worth 154 trillion aries a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 123,534 aries, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Pet loving officers arrest citizens who don't give their dogs enough biscuits, Leader's exquisite office door is replaced monthly due to angry petitioners, midnight pizza breaks are common among the work-from-home population, and a major religion has been named as Maryina's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Maryina's national animal is the Lion.

Maryina is ranked 47,633^rd in the world and 55^th in Lands End for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 4,106.36 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
