The United Duchy of Santa Marana is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Giovanni I with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, ubiquitous missile silos, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 5.785 billion Maranese are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Venitana. The average income tax rate is 57.2%.
The powerhouse Maranese economy, worth 608 trillion meteris a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 105,126 meteris, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.
People who have lived their entire lives in Santa Marana are shocked to discover that they are not citizens, anti-vaxxers claim that injected children are prone to psychotic breaks when they see the 'Queen of Diamonds' playing card, it is illegal to distribute Girl Guide Cookies without an advanced food hygiene diploma, and clowns are being rounded up and admitted to mental institutions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Santa Marana's national animal is the The White Lined Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Gaunism.
Santa Marana is ranked 6,702nd in the world and 7th in Thaecia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 6,514.45 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
