The Republic of Marxstadt is a colossal, genial nation, renowned for its closed borders, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, humorless population of 7.857 billion Marxstadtians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government stops and the rest of society begins, but it prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Industry, and Welfare are also considered important, while Defense and International Aid receive no funds. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Marxstadtian economy, worth a remarkable 2,540 trillion equalities a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, extremely specialized black market in Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 323,282 equalities, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Stony-faced ratings board panelists are unamused by free lap dances, procrastination is a national sport, opposition party MPs campaign shirtless to show off their numerous lash scars, and artists regularly face criminal charges and art-burning parties are common. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Marxstadt's national animal is the homo sapiens, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Marxstadt is ranked 315,796th in the world and 5th in Fuseishuu for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring -22.14 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
