Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Holy Empire of Marvels of the world is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Keenin with an iron fist, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 4.646 billion are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of wattsville. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

Goats are considered a delicacy, citizens are regularly arrested in queues for 'loitering', citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, and frequent fliers are obliged to submit to invasive security procedures by government security. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Marvels of the world's national animal is the goat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Keeninism, and its currency is the leaf.

Marvels of the world is ranked 20th in The Imperial Legion and 128,695th in the world for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring -76 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
