The Jingoistic Spaceships of Martian space pirates is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the head in a jar of Captain Blubber with an iron fist, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, flagrant waste-dumping, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 10.311 billion pirates 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 tiny, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Defense, although Administration is also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Phobos and Deimos. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.9%.

The human economy, worth 579 trillion slaves a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Soda Sales, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 56,203 slaves, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 507,788 per year while the poor average 750, a ratio of 677 to 1.

The 3rd Airborne Beekeepers are the most feared regiment in the human military, signs saying "No Poor People or Weirdoes" are common outside shops and cafés, birds and children's kites are regularly brought down by anti-aircraft fire, and the military is plagued with unethical researchers. Crime is pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Martian space pirates's national animal is the human, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is poorly understood.

Martian space pirates is ranked 276,168th in the world and 19th in SPACE for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -11.83 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
