The Republic of Marcellinople is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Consul Marcus Aurelius with a fair hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 30.89 billion Marcellinopleans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The minute government, or what there is of one, is dominated by the Department of Education, although Environment and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Marcellinople Urbs. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Marcellinoplean economy, worth a remarkable 7,340 trillion Denarii Marcellis a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an amazing 237,646 Denarii Marcellis, with the richest citizens earning 9.3 times as much as the poorest.

Most Denarii Marcelli coins are riddled with bite marks, the Super-Spud Cinematic Universe is breaking box office records, a third of Marcellinopleans are e-certified CEOs, and the well-to-do in Lazarus are never on time for important appointments. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Marcellinople's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Marcellinople is ranked 2,955^th in the world and 152^nd in Lazarus for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 8,868.81 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
