The Federal Republic of Marlducro is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by President Matthieu Dubois with a fair hand, and notable for its smutty television, unlimited-speed roads, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 4.756 billion Marlducroans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Folsburgh. The average income tax rate is 90.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Marlducroan economy, worth 911 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 191,652 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The world still seems flat to some people in space, things are looking up for patients accidentally prescribed erectile dysfunction medication, barbers who trim a few inches of hair bill the government for their labor, and the restriction that you must be over 1.1 metres tall to ride a carnotaurus has recently been waived. Crime is totally unknown. Marlducro's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Marlducro is ranked 24,040^th in the world and 869^th in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 86.7 law-abiding acts per hour.
