The Republic of Greater Marine is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by President John J Jameson with a fair hand, and remarkable for its national health service, unlimited-speed roads, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 5.095 billion Marinians 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 relatively small, outspoken government prioritizes Industry, although Education, Defense, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eldorado. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 38.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Marinian economy, worth a remarkable 1,333 trillion Marinian Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 261,701 Marinian Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

Freighter lifeboats have been replaced by state of the art marker buoys so divers can recover the cargo after they sink, administrative districts are increasingly defined by their taste in housing architecture, drivers regularly pull over for nonexistent police cars, and the phrase 'spreading like wildfire' is no longer in the public lexicon. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Greater Marine's national animal is the Crane, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Greater Marine is ranked 238,528th in the world and 2,689th in the Pacific for Most Conservative, scoring 34.75 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
