The Pink Holy of The Marlands is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Santa Claus with a fair hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, national health service, and unlimited-speed roads. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.766 billion Marlandi hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yggdrassil. The average income tax rate is 75.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Marlandi economy, worth 507 trillion Brains a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 106,442 Brains, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

In musicals everybody's a little bit racist, things are looking up for patients accidentally prescribed erectile dysfunction medication, children often explain to their parents that the Mega Ultimate Sword Fist was worth the thousand-Brains charge on their phone bill, and marine biology students are shocked to discover that a whale is a mammal. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Marlands's national animal is the Bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Athyism.

The Marlands is ranked 122,484th in the world and 2,632nd in The East Pacific for Safest, scoring 72.13 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
