The Kingdom of Marksland is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its public floggings, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.219 billion Markish have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Byblos. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13.3%.

The thriving Markish economy, worth 100 trillion Sterling Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 82,847 Sterling Pounds, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 274,834 per year while the poor average 18,639, a ratio of 14.7 to 1.

Politicians spend more time in courtrooms than in Parliament, plain-clothes police officers follow Dàguó tourists everywhere they go, political speeches always take place at sunset to a background of patriotic power ballads, and children's bedrooms are often decorated with posters of successful accountants. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Marksland's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Marksland is ranked 115,365^th in the world and 6^th in Mazdadez for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 1,864.01 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
