The Islas of Maroriente is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Marina East with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, unlimited-speed roads, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 10.481 billion Marorienteños hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of 🏝️ Isla del Este. The average income tax rate is 7.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Marorientine economy, worth a remarkable 2,774 trillion 🏅oroes 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 a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. 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 264,749 🏅oroes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Passionate nomination battles are often as intense as general elections, foreign policy is to avoid standing up to bullies, toy versions of heroin paraphernalia let kids pretend to be their favourite TV characters, and feuilletons can only be deciphered with a Galliennais dictionary. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Maroriente's national animal is the 🦭sea lion, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is 💧 Adoración al agua.

Maroriente is ranked 2,475th in the world and 12th in Refugia for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 757.91 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
