The State of Martinis is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its restrictive gun laws and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 17.409 billion Martinisians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 30.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Martinisian economy, worth 58.6 trillion betales a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Pizza Delivery, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 3,368 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Martinis's national animal is the deer.

Martinis is ranked 263,108^th in the world and 8^th in Columbia for Highest Food Quality, scoring 7.09 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
