The Constitutional Monarchy of Holy Marcus Empire is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Holy Emperor Vincent Fritz II with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 6.011 billion Marcusians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tenseigan. The average income tax rate is 95.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Marcusian economy, worth a remarkable 1,192 trillion Vinzes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 198,446 Vinzes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Every week is blindness awareness week, it is illegal to distribute Girl Guide Cookies without an advanced food hygiene diploma, Holy Marcus Empire is increasingly belligerent on the international stage, and libraries are replacing history books and classic novels with technical manuals and trades directories to match the nation's changing demands. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Holy Marcus Empire's national animal is the Marcusian Tiger Shark, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Holy Marcus Empire is ranked 5,971^st in the world and 309^th in The North Pacific for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 7,586.56 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
