The Republic of Mare-Land is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by President Green Deer with an even hand, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, pith helmet sales, and ritual sacrifices. The devout population of 8.182 billion Mare-Landians 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 relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Baltimare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 35.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Mare-Landian economy, worth a remarkable 1,155 trillion Moon Cakeses a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 141,255 Moon Cakeses, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 442,276 per year while the poor average 34,591, a ratio of 12.8 to 1.

Money can't buy happiness but it can buy immunity to prosecution, over a third of the seats in sports stadiums have been removed to make room for female-only commodes, wanting a better life for your child is prohibited by a clause in the criminal code, and sales of disinfectant wipes have skyrocketed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mare-Land's national animal is the Moonbeam, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Equestrianism.

Mare-Land is ranked 131,525^th in the world and 520^th in Sunset Shimmer for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 858.61 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
