The Republic of Land of Mari is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Vance Guy with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 6.195 billion Land of Marians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Annapaltimore. The average income tax rate is 98.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Land of Marian economy, worth a remarkable 1,203 trillion Old Bays a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 194,334 Old Bays, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Snitches get riches, schools have extensive counseling programs for troubled students, intellectual snobbery has the cognoscenti sneering at anyone who doesn't have an opinion on the semiological drift of Umberto Eco's works, and both vegetables and viruses are often smuggled across the border. Crime is totally unknown. Land of Mari's national animal is the Crab, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Land of Mari is ranked 42,071st in the world and 503rd in the South Pacific for Most Stationary, with 1,049.21781461128 days.
