The Free Land of The Independent Republic of Mars is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 6.529 billion Martians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.
The tiny, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Elysium. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.1%.
The very strong Martian economy, worth 508 trillion digits a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Tourism, and Retail. Average income is 77,879 digits, with the richest citizens earning 9.0 times as much as the poorest.
Soldiers on first dates introduce themselves only by their ranks and serial numbers, it's said that a Martian always pays his debts with significant compounding, the nation leads The Solar System in per capita stalking, and jaywalkers are condemned to lives of poverty for their heinous crimes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. The Independent Republic of Mars's national animal is the Martian honey bee, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
The Independent Republic of Mars is ranked 118,118th in the world and 1st in The Solar System for Most Cultured, scoring 65 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
