The United Socialist States of Martilliopen is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by the General Confederation of Labour with a fair hand, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, rampant corporate plagiarism, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 8.624 billion Martilliopenians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 99.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Martilliopenian economy, worth a remarkable 1,788 trillion guilders a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 207,386 guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Warfare increasingly resembles a video game, an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, smoking is banned in public areas, and the government has spent days debating the merits of a petition calling for a ban on sporks. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Martilliopen's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Martilliopen is ranked 290,884^th in the world and 378^th in The Leftist Assembly for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.23 kickbacks per hour.
