The ㅤㅤㅤㅤ of Small Venezia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Loís Deleuze with an iron fist, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, sprawling nuclear power plants, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.139 billion Maracuchos are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Maracaibo and Paraguaipoa. The average income tax rate is 87.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Marabino economy, worth 111 trillion Silver Coins 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 Basket Weaving and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 97,974 Silver Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There's never a spare chair in the retirement home, religious turf wars have caused frustrated police to pray for divine intervention, entire families are dragged into counseling whenever children fight on a playground, and male tourists tend to be fearful of Small Venezia's deadly femme fatales. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Small Venezia's national animal is the Monkulonseerü, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catharism.

Small Venezia is ranked 281,515^th in the world and 5,976^th in The North Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -11.75 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
