The Island Republic of Mark is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 27.365 billion Markians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The large government prioritizes Healthcare, although Environment, Education, and Defense are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mark City. The average income tax rate is 70.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The very strong Markian economy, worth a remarkable 1,555 trillion Punts a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 56,837 Punts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Mark successfully hosted the A Taco Paradise Olympics, the government seizes all major gold finds, hundreds of thousands of convicts work as slaves in Mark's many privately-owned prisons, and employers may fire workers without giving any reason. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mark's national animal is the Mighty Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Mark is ranked 47,048th in the world and 108th in A Taco Paradise for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 51.48 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
