The Kingdom of Marexi is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by King Maren Thurnt III with an iron fist, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, national health service, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.982 billion Marexians 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 large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Artentin. The average income tax rate is 90.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Marexian economy, worth 268 trillion Marecs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 135,349 Marecs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Weekends are spent tilting at windmills, the government has adopted a "Lightning Never Strikes Twice" approach to dealing with natural disasters, vote-counting is replacing kitchen patrol as the least glamorous army work, and feuilletons can only be deciphered with a Galliennais dictionary. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Marexi's national animal is the Griffon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Marentheism.

Marexi is ranked 100,357th in the world and 2,109th in The East Pacific for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 231.73 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
