The State of Markland Rocks is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its burgeoning deer population. The democratic population of 37.725 billion Markland Rocksians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 18.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Markland Rocksian economy, worth a remarkable 1,159 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 30,741 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, Markland Rocks's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, gambling is outlawed, and Markland Rocks has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is moderate, probably because of the absence of a police force. Markland Rocks's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Markland Rocks is ranked 324,723^rd in the world and 1^st in Labrador for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring -3.16 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
