The Republic of Greater Marine is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by President John J Jameson with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 9.232 billion Marinians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, outspoken government prioritizes Industry, with Education, Defense, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eldorado. The average income tax rate is 38.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Marinian economy, worth a remarkable 2,545 trillion Marinian Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 275,777 Marinian Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.

The musical cognoscenti insist the national anthem just isn't the same without a double contrabass flute, today's secret ingredients are blood, sweat, and tears, business ambassadors offer bong tokes to foreign leaders, and the dance skills of President John J Jameson are said to be almost as subversive as their politics. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Greater Marine's national animal is the Crane, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Greater Marine is ranked 67,736^th in the world and 785^th in the Pacific for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 3,028.49 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
