The Republic of Maroon Peak is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Joseph Stalin with a fair hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, smutty television, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 5.253 billion Maroon Peakians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

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 KREMLIN. The average income tax rate is 75.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Maroon Peakian economy, worth a remarkable 1,146 trillion US Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 218,206 US Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's politicians are known more for the internet memes they spawn than any of their accomplishments, the government has cut its subsidies for all special interest groups, children in school playgrounds can be heard chanting the hymns of the Order of Violet, and most barbers are also surgeons. Crime is totally unknown. Maroon Peak's national animal is the Maroon Peak flag, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Maroon Peak is ranked 192,034^th in the world and 8,345^th in The North Pacific for Highest Crime Rates, with 1.86 Crimes Per Hour.
