The Meritocratic Union of Marquesan is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Archard Delphine with a fair hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, keen interest in outer space, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 18.417 billion Marquesans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The minute, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Industry, Healthcare, and Education also on the agenda, while Welfare and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nuku Hiva. The average income tax rate is 1.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Marquesan economy, worth a remarkable 3,825 trillion Aureuses a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Gambling. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 207,735 Aureuses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Photos of picturesque coastal buildings are set against a backdrop of smokestacks and ship hulls, whipping posts and lashes have been transferred to the Historical Museum of Marquesan Embarrassments, going on a diet invalidates your passport, and internet moderator is one of the most popular jobs among the nation's more socially awkward citizens. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Marquesan's national animal is the Red-Crowned Crane, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Rakanism.

Marquesan is ranked 90,118th in the world and 11th in Gholgoth for Most Income Equality, scoring 43.04 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
