The Federal Republic of Martzbrieg is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.983 billion Martzbriegians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tarowood. The average income tax rate is 85.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Martzbriegian economy, worth 465 trillion Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 116,924 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People often get liposuction to reduce their air fares, citizens are bombarded with advertising from their compulsory miniature radios, incarcerated crime lords manage their empires from massage tables, and sex-ed is child's play. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Martzbrieg's national animal is the Crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Martzbrieg is ranked 269,834^th in the world and 4,920^th in the South Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -9.65 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
