The Republic of Greater Marine is a massive, safe nation, ruled by President John J Jameson with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, unlimited-speed roads, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 3.167 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 juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eldorado. The average income tax rate is 30.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Marinian economy, worth 744 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 234,993 Marinian Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians can be condescending (which by the way means "showing an attitude of patronising superiority"), foreign leaders are advising that President John J Jameson's letters must have gotten lost in the mail, it's always rabbit season, and orphanages are closing their doors as the government forces parents to actually raise their children. 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 37,828^th in the world and 662^nd in the Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 77.46 law-abiding acts per hour.
