The State of Marsalforn is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its burgeoning deer population. The democratic population of 17.134 billion Marsalfornians enjoy great social freedoms and frequent elections, where the majority of the populace regularly votes to increase its benefits at the expense of various hapless minorities.

The medium-sized, moralistic, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 22.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Marsalfornian economy, worth 473 trillion betales a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Retail, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 27,655 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Marsalforn's national animal is the deer.

Marsalforn is ranked 158,017^th in the world and 2^nd in New Hampshire for Lowest Crime Rates, with 60.33 law-abiding acts per hour.
