The ㅤㅤㅤㅤ of Small Venezia is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Loís Deleuze with an iron fist, and renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, lack of airports, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.12 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 87.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Marabino economy, worth 108 trillion Silver Coins a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, 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. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 96,770 Silver Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government now pays the "Really Awesome Super Heroes" (RASH) to catch evildoers, sales of superhero insurance have skyrocketed after the government abandoned the police in favor of vigilantes, fistfighting vigilantes tend to suffer a lot of gunshot wounds, and hunters have been known to lose limbs while attempting to 'play tag' with their prey. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. 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 282,427^th in the world and 6,248^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 269.32 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
