The Constitutional Monarchy of Holy Marcus Empire is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Holy Empress Zabrina with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful population of 18.378 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 98.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Marcusian economy, worth a remarkable 4,205 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 228,845 Vinzes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military equipment is being auctioned off to extend comatose centenarians' lives, parents who reward their teens' chores with concert tickets are charged with illegal reselling, weather forecasts are accurate but nobody has the bandwidth to view them, and editorials that criticize the government are legally obligated to display the "pants on fire" warning. 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 38,089^th in the world and 762^nd in The North Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 5,098.02 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
