The Democratic Republic of Marinxa is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Alvarones with a fair hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, daily referendums, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.234 billion Marinxans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Xarin. The average income tax rate is 94.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Marinxan economy, worth 704 trillion almines a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 134,525 almines, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Athletic teenagers are among the wealthiest members of society, advertisers are struggling to make water sound cool to a twitchy public, government bureaucrats review designs for birdhouses to ensure they do not block the views of neighbors, and tipsy fans frequently invite themselves to the board meetings of sports clubs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Marinxa's national animal is the swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Marinxa is ranked 279,507^th in the world and 10,632^nd in Balder for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -11.82 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
