The State of Marzuar is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 29.287 billion Marzuarians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, pro-business, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, with Welfare and Social Policy not funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Douglas City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.9%.

The powerhouse Marzuarian economy, worth a remarkable 1,207 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Soda Sales industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 41,244 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 125,994 per year while the poor average 10,465, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

The alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, the automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts, organ donation rates have hit a new low, and Marzuar has designated Douglas City as its capital city. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Marzuar's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Marzuar is ranked 180,139^th in the world and 1^st in Marzuar for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring zero on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
