The Grand Factory of Expo Marker is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Owner of the Expo Marker Factory with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, ritual sacrifices, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 4.357 billion Expo Markerians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Expo Factory. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 14.5%.

The all-consuming Expo Markerian economy, worth 347 trillion Inks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 79,716 Inks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 279,633 per year while the poor average 16,487, a ratio of 17.0 to 1.

The government has adopted a more thrifty attitude to administrating the country's needs, Owner of the Expo Marker Factory has just been declared ruler of Expo Marker in an international press conference, traffic jams are a common sight due to construction work from a massive overhaul of the nation's freeways, and open-heart surgery is taught in seminaries. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Expo Marker's national animal is the Parastratiosphecomyia stratiosphecomyioi, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is The Scent of Expo Markers.

Expo Marker is ranked 123,706^th in the world and 2^nd in Not Milk Farmers for Lowest Crime Rates, with 63.34 law-abiding acts per hour.
