The Technate of Marnrio is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Mo-lexandria Rutte with a fair hand, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, unlimited-speed roads, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 4.032 billion Maroonians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Maroondam. The average income tax rate is 37.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Maroonian economy, worth 327 trillion Maroon-Benes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 81,294 Maroon-Benes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The easiest method of escaping from prison is to take singing lessons, the deaf are perplexed when the weather report tells them that the wind will be "bringing some rain along the Nazi ghosts", Mo-lexandria Rutte's webseries about the alleged hauntings of Maroondam generates millions of views, and popular candidates who don't suffer last-second political scandals tend to get fished out of the Maroondam River. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Marnrio's national animal is the Maroon-tailed Godwit, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Protestantism and Atheism.

Marnrio is ranked 64,923^rd in the world and 1,350^th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 116.83 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
