The Second Commonwealth of Benjamin Mark is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by president of sirian with an even hand, and notable for its parental licensing program, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful population of 31.6 billion Markians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Carson Village. The average income tax rate is 99.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Markian economy, worth a remarkable 9,016 trillion Euros a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 285,330 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Sending sick politicians "Get Well Soon" cards is considered bribery, foreigners with shady pasts are fleeing the country, lending money has become a major liability, and drill sergeants yell in the ears of bespectacled nerds in cybermilitary "reboot camps". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Benjamin Mark's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is a major religion.

Benjamin Mark is ranked 69,077^th in the world and 2^nd in Cad Goddeau for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 4,062.47 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
