The Federation of Marthuania is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Marius Kravtsjenko Oktyabrskiy with an even hand, and renowned for its triple-decker prams, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cheerful population of 21.71 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 10,259 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 472,555 Crowns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Sneezing pedestrians are grabbed by alley-lurking doctors, ethnic minorities are often refused admission to some of the nation's best schools, students do more community service than homework, and politicians are often found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income. 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 446th in the world and 1st in Confederation of Corrupt Dictators for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 48,923.56 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
