The Confederation of Markev is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Chancellor Franco Ridzik with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, zero percent divorce rate, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 29.592 billion Markevans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tikhograd. The average income tax rate is 80.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Markevan economy, worth a remarkable 5,545 trillion yengs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 187,383 yengs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Census workers struggle to account for the rapidly increasing number of citizens to tabulate, there are no more heroes any more, the navy's new flotilla is gonna be a thrilla, and scientists spend more time enduring government inspections than they do on actual science. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Markev's national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Korvinism.

Markev is ranked 8,538th in the world and 148th in The Communist Bloc for Most Cultured, scoring 127 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
