The Not so democratic republic of Marlo is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Chancellor Archon with an iron fist, and notable for its pith helmet sales, complete lack of prisons, and national health service. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 9.012 billion Marloans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Okpueze. The average income tax rate is 94.3%.
The frighteningly efficient Marloan economy, worth a remarkable 1,723 trillion Marks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 191,274 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Nature reserves often contain artificial waterfalls and concrete paths, the richest individuals apparently buy nothing but noodles and toilet paper, short shrift is being given to applications for political asylum from illegal immigrants, and proper policy proposals prerequire professional peer-reviewed papers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Marlo's national animal is the Bison, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Orthodox Christianity.
Marlo is ranked 270,602nd in the world and 31st in Hartfelden for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -9.4 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
