The Imperium of Marquesan is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Felix I with a fair hand, and notable for its strictly enforced bedtime, rampant corporate plagiarism, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 27.719 billion Marquesans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, corrupt government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Industry, Healthcare, and Education also on the agenda, while Welfare and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nuku Hiva. The average income tax rate is 1.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Marquesan economy, worth a remarkable 5,618 trillion Aureuses a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Tourism. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 202,687 Aureuses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Student exchange programs are in trouble as everyone wants to leave but no-one wants to come, stranded mountaineers can watch livestreamed footage of their rescues, the new cheese tax is colloquially known as "wheel welfare", and hospitals fear government fines more than terrorist ransoms. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Marquesan's national animal is the Red-Crowned Crane, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Drekanity.

Marquesan is ranked 10,769^th in the world and 3^rd in Esvanovia for Highest Average Incomes, with 202,687.67 Standard Monetary Units.
