The Federal Republic of Maraonia is a mammoth, genial nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 6.438 billion Maraonians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 7.6%.

The strong Maraonian economy, worth 311 trillion kronor a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is 48,356 kronor, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas and it is illegal to make racist remarks in public. Crime is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Maraonia's national animal is the lion, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Maraonia is ranked 44,369^th in the world and 1,257^th in Osiris for Highest Drug Use, scoring 288.84 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
