The Republic of Marcellinople is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Consul Marcus Aurelius with a fair hand, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, unlimited-speed roads, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 33.735 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, liberal government, or what there is of one, is dominated by the Department of Education, with Environment and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Marcellinople Urbs. The average income tax rate is 1.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Marcellinoplean economy, worth a remarkable 8,316 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 Retail. Average income is an amazing 246,509 Denarii Marcellis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

'To Regulate And Beyond' is the unofficial motto of the Marcellinoplean Space Agency, Consul Marcus Aurelius's perky ego is the talk of the town, the nation's forests are full of treasure hunters in military-grade survival gear, and it's been a banner year for local vexillology. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Marcellinople's national animal is the Hamster, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Marcellinople is ranked 254,911^th in the world and 6,730^th in Lazarus for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -30 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
