The Tentacular Horror of Valles Marineris Chasmata is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Theocrat of Mars with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, keen interest in outer space, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 12.833 billion lost souls are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Education also on the agenda, while Welfare and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chasmatic Pits. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 53.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Valles Marineris Chasmatan economy, worth a remarkable 3,046 trillion souls a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. 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 237,413 souls, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,449,173 per year while the poor average 17,166, a ratio of 84.4 to 1.

State dairy cow's milk is a shear-thickening fluid that can stop small-caliber bullets, rocket boots and thermal detonators have become standard-issue military gear, major internet servers have acquired citizenship, and vehicular manslaughter is apparently a victimless crime. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Valles Marineris Chasmata's national animal is the shoggoth, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Violet.

Valles Marineris Chasmata is ranked 19,350th in the world and 36th in Federation of Martian Colonies for Most Stationary, with 1,643.416309324 days.
