The Republic of Marcellinople is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Consul Marcus Aurelius with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 37.707 billion Marcellinopleans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The tiny government is dominated by the Department of Education, with Environment and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Marcellinople Urbs. The average income tax rate is 2.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Marcellinoplean economy, worth a remarkable 9,337 trillion Denarii Marcellis a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 247,641 Denarii Marcellis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Artists are pillars of society, the construction of massive skyscrapers seems to be the result of Marcellinople's mid-life crisis, the new one Denarii Marcelli coin also makes a handy throwing-star, and school uniforms are compulsory. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Marcellinople's national animal is the Hamster, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Marcellinople is ranked 290,908^th in the world and 11,381^st in Lazarus for Most Primitive, scoring -751.64 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
