The Holy Empire of Maroza is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Empress with an iron fist, and renowned for its strictly enforced bedtime, free-roaming dinosaurs, and public floggings. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 34.01 billion Marozans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The relatively small, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Maroza City. The average income tax rate is 68.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Marozan economy, worth a remarkable 7,788 trillion Credits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 228,994 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pillows outnumber picket signs at most workers rallies, Marozans firmly believe that their heroes never farted or popped their pimples, exiles see that the line where the sky meets the sea is just clouds and rain, and the government subsidizes those who produce the worst results. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Maroza's national animal is the Giant Hawk, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Chyristalentian.

Maroza is ranked 210,992nd in the world and 10,704th in Balder for Rudest Citizens, with 37.41 insults per minute.
