The Republic of Marissolia is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Maeve Callaghan with a fair hand, and remarkable for its vat-grown people, daily referendums, and public floggings. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 4.949 billion Marissolians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Caerlochan. The average income tax rate is 55.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Marissolian economy, worth 431 trillion Uviims a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 87,012 Uviims, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Paranoid museum guards keep a lookout for any animated displays attempting to escape the premises after dark, orphans would rather live their life of luxury than be adopted by prospective parents, police struggle to solve crimes due to the lack of fingerprint records, and politicians no longer click with dating app matches. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Marissolia's national animal is the Cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Marissolia is ranked 43,833^rd in the world and 991^st in The North Pacific for Longest Average Lifespans, with 85.83 years.
