The Republic of Marxstadt is a colossal, genial nation, renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, zero percent divorce rate, and lack of airports. The compassionate, cynical, humorless population of 7.875 billion Marxstadtians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government stops and the rest of society begins, but it prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Industry, and Welfare are also considered important, while Defense and International Aid are ignored. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Marxstadtian economy, worth a remarkable 2,547 trillion equalities a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, extremely specialized black market in Information Technology. 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 amazing 323,519 equalities, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Morality classes are compulsory for all school students, obstetricians are not allowed to publish ultrasound pictures of fetuses in medical journals, visual acuity is worsening amongst teenagers, and hundreds of subterranean tunnels are being built as part of "Project Morlock". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Marxstadt's national animal is the homo sapiens, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Marxstadt is ranked 15,988th in the world and 3rd in Fuseishuu for Nudest, with 676.75 cheeks per square mile.
