The Theocratic Matriarchy of Holy Marsh is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Arsi'Elkon Luboski with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 32.121 billion Marshites have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Industry and Education also on the agenda, while Environment is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mar'si. The average income tax rate is 96.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Marshite economy, worth an astonishing 13,349 trillion Marshians a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 415,606 Marshians, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Visiting dignitaries often end up cuddling in the hot tub with Arsi'Elkon Luboski, census workers struggle to account for the rapidly increasing number of citizens to tabulate, failed genetic experiments wreak havoc as they roam the countryside, and Arsi'Elkon Luboski is quite hard to get a hold of. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Holy Marsh's national animal is the Sparky, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Marshism.

Holy Marsh is ranked 3,596th in the world and 13th in Greater Dienstad for Largest Populations, with 32.1 billion capita.
