The United Socialist States of Martilliopen is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by the General Confederation of Labour with a fair hand, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, unlimited-speed roads, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 8.58 billion Martilliopenians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 99.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Martilliopenian economy, worth a remarkable 1,777 trillion guilders a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 207,144 guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is washing its hands of alleged corruption, criminal rehabilitation takes place in re-education centers, graverobbers claim they're acting within the interest of 'scientific preservation', and the nation's counterintelligence budget is all up in the air. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Martilliopen's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Martilliopen is ranked 291,319^th in the world and 379^th in The Leftist Assembly for Most Primitive, scoring -818.27 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
