The Halfback of Marlon Mack is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its frequent executions, enslaved workforce, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.275 billion Marlon Mackians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 77.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Marlon Mackian economy, worth a remarkable 1,014 trillion bronze nickels 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. 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 161,669 bronze nickels, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Torture is commonly used to extract information from suspected criminals, the nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, wigged-out hunters report playing croquet with the Queen of Hearts, and Marlon Mackian dissenters are begging human rights groups to ignore them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Marlon Mack's national animal is the rockwarbler, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Marlon Mack is ranked 9,232^nd in the world and 1^st in Indianapolis Colts for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 6,744.98 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
