The Federation of Marthuania is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Marius Kravtsjenko Oktyabrskiy with an even hand, and notable for its closed borders, complete lack of prisons, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cheerful population of 27.037 billion Marthuanians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and look forward to their next free and open election, to be held on an as-yet unannounced date.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pravda. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Marthuanian economy, worth an astonishing 12,996 trillion Crowns a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 480,699 Crowns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field, dining out often involves bears on the plate no matter what you order, military pilots spend more time scraping feathers off their engines than flying their aircraft, and business leaders are mailing Marius Kravtsjenko Oktyabrskiy forged birth certificates in a bid to win their rivals as serfs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Marthuania's national animal is the bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Marthuania is ranked 152^nd in the world and 2^nd in Forest for Smartest Citizens, with 446.86 quips per hour.
