The Fiefdom of Marty Siska is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by the grand council with an even hand, and notable for its irreverence towards religion, hatred of cheese, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 9.65 billion Marty Siskans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — is primarily concerned with Healthcare, although Education, Environment, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 78.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Marty Siskan economy, worth 465 trillion florins a year, is highly specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 48,198 florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A suspicious number of male students have joined the Ladies' Wrestling League, cars have been banned, those found guilty of illicit affairs are jailed, and the government is using tax revenues to provide jobs for the poor. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Marty Siska's national animal is the vulptex, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Marty Siska is ranked 64,165^th in the world and 44^th in Canada for Lowest Crime Rates, with 71.01 law-abiding acts per hour.
