The Republic of Marcellinople is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Consul Marcus Aurelius with an even hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, frequent executions, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 37.686 billion Marcellinopleans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The tiny government is dominated by the Department of Education, although Environment and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Marcellinople Urbs. The average income tax rate is 2.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Marcellinoplean economy, worth a remarkable 9,332 trillion Denarii Marcellis a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 247,641 Denarii Marcellis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Artists are pillars of society, the construction of massive skyscrapers seems to be the result of Marcellinople's mid-life crisis, the new one Denarii Marcelli coin also makes a handy throwing-star, and school uniforms are compulsory. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Marcellinople's national animal is the Hamster, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Marcellinople is ranked 2,403^rd in the world and 95^th in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 243 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
