The Workers Republic of Maraganta is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Jory Maartens with an iron fist, and notable for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and parental licensing program. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.176 billion Maragans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Triple Cities. The average income tax rate is 86.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Maragan economy, worth 83.3 trillion Reais a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 70,837 Reais, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's air missiles have killed thousands of Brasilistan military personnel, elite teams of assassins have been sent into Brasilistan, the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly, and 'Coloniser-in-Chief' has become Jory Maartens's new moniker. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Maraganta's national animal is the Mule, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Maraganta is ranked 236,743^rd in the world and 157^th in Communitas for Largest Populations, with 1.18 billion capita.
