The Kingdom of Marleney is a small, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. The compassionate population of 32 million Marleneyians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 42.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Marleneyian economy, worth 1.13 trillion Pound sterlings a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 35,334 Pound sterlings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, and builders across Marleney are blocked up with orders for new public loos. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Marleney's national animal is the Goshawk.

Marleney is ranked 80,483^rd in the world and 1,262^nd in The East Pacific for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 1,621.88 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
