The Imperium of Marquesan is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Felix I with a fair hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, sprawling nuclear power plants, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 23.725 billion Marquesans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
The tiny, corrupt, liberal government is dominated by the Department of Defense, although Healthcare, Industry, and Education are also considered important, while Welfare and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nuku Hiva. The average income tax rate is 1.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Marquesan economy, worth a remarkable 4,711 trillion Aureuses a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Gambling, and Tourism. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 198,584 Aureuses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.
News headlines usually include p-values, it is illegal to have the wrong clock time showing on your microwave oven, the nation's most "productive" diamond mine hasn't been operational for seven months, and student exchange programs are in trouble as everyone wants to leave but no-one wants to come. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Marquesan's national animal is the Red-Crowned Crane, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Drekanity.
Marquesan is ranked 146,264th in the world and 10th in Esvanovia for Most Extreme, scoring 19.19 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
