The Second Commonwealth of Benjamin Mark is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Tiffany Calderon with an even hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, smutty television, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful population of 26.073 billion Markians 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Carson Village. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient Markian economy, worth a remarkable 9,518 trillion Dollars a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 365,080 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The Treasury has been accused of flushing money down the toilet, a fashion designer has been arrested for inciting hatred after claiming redheads couldn't pull off vermillion, baby dolls thrown in the trash are a leading cause of panic attacks, and the government officially wants you to slow down and speak more clearly. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Benjamin Mark's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is a major religion.
Benjamin Mark is ranked 68th in the world and 1st in The Celtic Order for Most Cultured, scoring 920 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
