The Islands of Maroriente is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Marina East with an even hand, and renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, ritual sacrifices, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 5.346 billion Marorienteñoes 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 relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Isla del este. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 17.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Marorientine economy, worth 797 trillion pesos a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Pizza Delivery. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 149,203 pesos, with the richest citizens earning 8.7 times as much as the poorest.

Many marriages go virtually unconsummated, court cases mostly involve lawyers shouting questions at witnesses giving silent shrugs, bemused citizens are encouraged to sing foreign-language hymns of religions they have never heard of, and the newest shade developed by Maroriente's dye industry has been dubbed 'Agent Orange'. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Maroriente's national animal is the sea lion, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Water worship.

Maroriente is ranked 28,318^th in the world and 1^st in Ocean for Most Corrupt Governments, with 76.09 kickbacks per hour.
