The Theocratic Matriarchy of Holy Marsh is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Arsi'Elkon Luboski with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, national health service, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 32.002 billion Marshites have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, although Industry and Education are also considered important, while Environment is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mar'si. The average income tax rate is 96.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Marshite economy, worth an astonishing 13,300 trillion Marshians 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. 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 415,606 Marshians, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Visiting dignitaries often end up cuddling in the hot tub with Arsi'Elkon Luboski, census workers struggle to account for the rapidly increasing number of citizens to tabulate, failed genetic experiments wreak havoc as they roam the countryside, and Arsi'Elkon Luboski is quite hard to get a hold of. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Holy Marsh's national animal is the Sparky, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Marshism.

Holy Marsh is ranked 4,781st in the world and 9th in Greater Dienstad for Lowest Crime Rates, with 117.53 law-abiding acts per hour.
