The Constitutional Monarchy of Holy Marcus Empire is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Holy Empress Zabrina with an even hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful population of 17.181 billion Marcusians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tenseigan. The average income tax rate is 98.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Marcusian economy, worth a remarkable 3,913 trillion Vinzes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 227,771 Vinzes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

More than one company makes the board game Monopoly, the internal market is thriving, shopkeepers use microscopes to verify the authenticity of banknotes, and surgical tape has taken on a distinctly red color. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Holy Marcus Empire's national animal is the Marcusian Tiger Shark, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Holy Marcus Empire is ranked 3,641^st in the world and 151^st in The North Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 63.33 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
