The United Kingdom of Marius Republic is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Joseph Vermudt II with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 2.46 billion Mariuses 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Elsutrupolis. The average income tax rate is 88.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Marius economy, worth 335 trillion Marius Dollars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 136,353 Marius Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The tightness of border controls in Marius Republic leave a little to be desired, citizens know never to accept cookies from strangers, vast amounts of energy are expended moving water to hilltop lakes, and park rangers struggle to deal with a rash of stolen pic-a-nic baskets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Marius Republic's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Eastern Orthodox.

Marius Republic is ranked 18,708^th in the world and 3^rd in Greater Temecula for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 8,313.38 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
