The United Syndicates of Mariano Island is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Chairman Konstantinos with an even hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 5.77 billion Mariano Islanders are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alvarezia. The average income tax rate is 93.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Mossy economy, worth 920 trillion Mossy Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 159,576 Mossy Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government's foreign policy statements are less threatening than a World Assembly cease-and-desist letter, escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky, evasive politicians don't fail to strongly commit to not committing to a course of non-inaction, and politicians "baring all" for the camera isn't always a figure of speech. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mariano Island's national animal is the Marimo Moss-ball, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mariano Island is ranked 203,235th in the world and 652nd in 10000 Islands for Most Stationary, with 43.94654826308 days.
