The District of Marcomas is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 18.468 billion Marcomasians 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, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District City. The average income tax rate is 69.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Marcomasian economy, worth 289 trillion aurums a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 15,670 aurums, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The right to free speech is being drastically curtailed, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, and Marcomas has designated District City as its capital city. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Marcomas's national animal is the bovina, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Marcomas is ranked 144,877^th in the world and 6^th in Lobamba for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 633.19 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
