The Corporate Federation of Maritzal is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by President Cornelius Crewes with an even hand, and remarkable for its parental licensing program, complete lack of prisons, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 16.472 billion Maritzalians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Meridian. The average income tax rate is 96.3%.
The frighteningly efficient Maritzalian economy, worth a remarkable 9,340 trillion Pistas a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is a breathtaking 567,065 Pistas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.
Where there's smoke there's the Maritzalian Forestry Department, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, economic output is rising as the chronically depressed are persuaded not to burden society, and concussed Catball players cannot remember their lineup position. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Maritzal's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Maritzal is ranked 233,979th in the world and 1,178th in Europe for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 47.56 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
