The American Writer of Mark Twain is a mammoth, orderly nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, free-roaming dinosaurs, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.853 billion Mark Twainians 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 large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 88.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Mark Twainian economy, worth a remarkable 1,408 trillion markas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Woodchip Exports. 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 205,474 markas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

The Mark Twainian Intelligence Agency has put 'Project Quantum Refrigerator' on hold indefinitely, tourists buying prepaid smartphones are arrested for smuggling, commemoration of the Great Koprulu Sector War costs almost as much as the war itself, and 100-year-old politicians are now a thing of the past. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mark Twain's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mark Twain is ranked 14,167^th in the world and 15^th in Koprulu Sector for Highest Poor Incomes, with 106,996.74 Standard Monetary Units.
