The Popular Republic of Maraguay is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by El Presidente Rubén Garfias Domínguez with an iron fist, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 23.797 billion Maraguayans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Industry are also considered important, while Social Policy receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ciudad del Maraguay. The average income tax rate is 76.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Maraguayan economy, worth a remarkable 2,016 trillion Pesos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 84,738 Pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Proper policy proposals prerequire professional peer-reviewed papers, it is said that a Maraguayan woman's work is never done, banning party poppers has been a real party pooper, and young people pass around flash drives filled with illegal music. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Maraguay's national animal is the Jaguar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Maraguay is ranked 4,096th in the world and 1st in The Equator for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 15,865.9 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
