The Confederacy of Independent Martian Republics is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by President of the Confederacy with an even hand, and renowned for its aversion to nipples, digital currency, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, humorless population of 11.541 billion Martians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Olympus. The average income tax rate is 80.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Martian economy, worth a remarkable 2,508 trillion Confederate credits a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 217,357 Confederate credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The question "please would you...?" is usually laden with passive aggression, quiet professionalism has returned to the nation's armed forces, hospitals fear government fines more than terrorist ransoms, and there's nothing more rock-and-roll than absolute sobriety. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Independent Martian Republics's national animal is the Sagan's spotted skink, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Independent Martian Republics is ranked 12,671^st in the world and 779^th in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 96.96 law-abiding acts per hour.
