The Serene Sanctuary of The Holy Principality of Saint Mark is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by His Radiant Highness Prince Marcarius with a fair hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, ubiquitous missile silos, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 5.186 billion Saint Markians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Environment, Spirituality, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Social Policy isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sanctus Leo. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 36.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Saint Markian economy, worth a remarkable 1,423 trillion Marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 274,404 Marks, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,077,750 per year while the poor average 47,478, a ratio of 22.7 to 1.

His Radiant Highness Prince Marcarius's peyote-induced "let's all just be friends" speech is trending world-wide, fireworks and other big bangs are forbidden during the newest public holiday, the countryside is shrouded by wind farms, and the comic book series 'His Radiant Highness Prince Marcarius and the Villainous Corporate Cronies' is a best-seller. Crime is totally unknown. The Holy Principality of Saint Mark's national animal is the Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

The Holy Principality of Saint Mark is ranked 72,312^th in the world and 3,092^nd in the West Pacific for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 1,577.97 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
