The ㅤㅤㅤㅤ of Small Venezia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Loís Deleuze with an iron fist, and remarkable for its feral children, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.151 billion Maracuchos 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Maracaibo and Paraguaipoa. The average income tax rate is 87.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Marabino economy, worth 114 trillion Silver Coins 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, extremely specialized black market in Basket Weaving and Arms Manufacturing. 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 99,171 Silver Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Animated characters are allowed to stab each other but not hold hands, psychiatrists that date patients are congratulated on their romantic conquests, farmers' market days almost always end in a shooting, and funerals are often rudely interrupted by juggling clowns shouting for volunteers from the audience. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Small Venezia's national animal is the Monkulonseerü, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catharism.

Small Venezia is ranked 20,878^th in the world and 429^th in The North Pacific for Most Corrupt Governments, with 97.41 kickbacks per hour.
