The Federal Republic of Martzbrieg is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its national health service, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.012 billion Martzbriegians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tarowood. The average income tax rate is 85.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Martzbriegian economy, worth 469 trillion Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 116,924 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People often get liposuction to reduce their air fares, citizens are bombarded with advertising from their compulsory miniature radios, incarcerated crime lords manage their empires from massage tables, and sex-ed is child's play. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Martzbrieg's national animal is the Crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Martzbrieg is ranked 8,962^nd in the world and 250^th in the South Pacific for Highest Food Quality, scoring 168.29 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
