The Constitutional Monarchy of Maricoen is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Prime Minister Dimitri Morozov with a fair hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.827 billion Maricoenians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The medium-sized, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Marcosberg. The average income tax rate is 84.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Maricoenian economy, worth 327 trillion neroks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 179,146 neroks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.
Textbooks are exactly twice as heavy as they used to be, autopsies often involve only cursory examination, military officials are questioning the policy of ceding the nation's territory in exchange for promises not to invade it, and parents dread their examinations more than their children. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Maricoen's national animal is the European Bison, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Maricoenian Orthodoxy.
Maricoen is ranked 12,467th in the world and 9th in New Eastern Europe for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 9,673.85 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
