The Best Girl of Kate Marsh is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Kate Marsh with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 3.673 billion Kate Marshians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arcadia Bay. The average income tax rate is 33.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Kate Marshian economy, worth 396 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Retail, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 107,953 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Signatures have been replaced with illegible scribbles, hockey players who drop their gloves discard them on abandoned baseball mitts, farting etiquette is taught in schools, and citizens are permitted to carry concealed handguns. Crime is totally unknown. Kate Marsh's national animal is the rabbit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Kate Marsh is ranked 56,383^rd in the world and 206^th in Ambition for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 3,488.29 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
