The Republic of Democratic Maric Neo is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its anti-smoking policies, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.562 billion Maric Neoans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of scarab city. The average income tax rate is 67.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Democratic Maric Neoan economy, worth 152 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 97,435 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government regularly reassures citizens that there are no monsters under their beds, adverts proclaim it has to be healthy if the Mornay uses hand-grated Gallopavian Gruyère, a rolling news ticker tape of disclaimers runs across the bottom of the screen on all TV shows, and the government tries to improve relations with hostile countries by sending gift baskets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Democratic Maric Neo's national animal is the scarab, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Democratic Maric Neo is ranked 9,526^th in the world and 23^rd in Concord for Safest, scoring 121.65 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
