The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mariskburc. The average income tax rate is 16.5%.

The Mariskburcian economy, worth 713 trillion florins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 46,195 florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Mariskburc has designated Mariskburc as its capital city. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mariskburc's national animal is the Golden Cicada, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
