The Republic of Marxstadt is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, humorless population of 7.9 billion Marxstadtians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government stops and the rest of society begins, but it prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Industry, and Welfare also on the agenda, while Defense and International Aid are ignored. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient Marxstadtian economy, worth a remarkable 2,539 trillion equalities a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, extremely specialized black market in Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 321,432 equalities, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The hills are alive with the sound of ringtones, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, the Ministry of Truthiness now manages the entire media industry, and bored politicians often entertain themselves with games of Simon during important votes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Marxstadt's national animal is the homo sapiens, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Marxstadt is ranked 317,025th in the world and 5th in Fuseishuu for Safest, scoring 2.35 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
