The District of Lord Marin is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by proctor with an iron fist, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, complete lack of public education, and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, cynical population of 39.32 billion Lord Marinians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The minute, well-organized government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Industry, Welfare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.5%.

The thriving Lord Marinian economy, worth a remarkable 1,670 trillion aurums a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 42,487 aurums, with the richest citizens earning 8.9 times as much as the poorest.

Lord Marin has designated District City as its capital city, Proctor has just been declared ruler of Lord Marin in an international press conference, the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly, and the WhoTube comments section has gone strangely quiet. Crime is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Lord Marin's national animal is the bovina, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Lord Marin is ranked 271,585th in the world and 666th in United States of America for Safest, scoring 9.08 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
