The Queendom of Marabia is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Maureen Mirrors with an even hand, and remarkable for its teetotalling pirates, state-planned economy, and national health service. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 9.058 billion Maravas are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, although Spirituality, Environment, and Administration are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Maris. The average income tax rate is 86.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Marabian economy, worth a remarkable 1,028 trillion Snake eyes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Trout Farming, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 113,543 Snake eyes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A common response to government PSAs is "well, DUH, obviously", museums offer moralization or your money back, umbrellas are back in fashion, and nobody looks each other in the eye at neighborhood block parties any more. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Marabia's national animal is the Snake, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Sssssecret Circle.

Marabia is ranked 286,945th in the world and 15,426th in Lazarus for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 281.4 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
