The People's Republic of San Marsico is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, compulsory military service, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, devout population of 414 million San Marsicoans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Roiwek. The average income tax rate is 40.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient San Marsicoan economy, worth 19.6 trillion Kyixes a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 47,269 Kyixes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Athletic teenagers are among the wealthiest members of society, scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway, 100-year-old politicians are now a thing of the past, and people stand their fridges back-to-front to benefit from the free heating. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. San Marsico's national animal is the Savtik, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

San Marsico is ranked 188,586^th in the world and 3,627^th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 47.66 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
