The Federal Republic of Marlducro is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Prime Minister Percival Trevelyan with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 6.373 billion Marlducroans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Folsburgh. The average income tax rate is 92.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Marlducroan economy, worth a remarkable 1,311 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 205,718 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Prime Minister Percival Trevelyan spends most of the day apologizing, the nation has welcomed its expats back with open arms, the armed forces insist that UFOs aren't real... yet, and Folsburgh University is said to be the modern-day Tower of Babel. Crime is totally unknown. Marlducro's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Marlducro is ranked 313,698^th in the world and 5,759^th in The North Pacific for Most Conservative, scoring 6.25 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
