The Corporate Federation of Maritzal is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by President Cornelius Crewes with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, deadly medical pandemics, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 17.471 billion Maritzalians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The tiny, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Meridian. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 74.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Maritzalian economy, worth a remarkable 9,130 trillion Pistas a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is a breathtaking 522,623 Pistas, with the richest citizens earning 6.6 times as much as the poorest.

Money that should have gone to charities is instead spent on monitoring them, dog owners proudly declare that their pups can predict when the mailman will arrive, five-year-olds chanting "Little Miss Muffet" are accused of bullying arachnophobes, and light entertainment isn't dead. Crime is almost non-existent. Maritzal's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Maritzal is ranked 281st in the world and 3rd in Europe for Fattest Citizens, with 92.2 Obesity Rate.
