The Tie-Dye Republic of Mars Hotel is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Robert Hunter with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 6.919 billion Mars Hotelians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cucamonga. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Mars Hotelian economy, worth a remarkable 1,801 trillion Garcias a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 260,354 Garcias, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

High-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, elevator music has been replaced by thrash metal played at maximum volume, producers insist that movie stars wear crash helmets in every scene, and people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mars Hotel's national animal is the saw-whet owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Mars Hotel is ranked 38,984th in the world and 17th in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Most Stationary, with 1,165.28169866368 days.
