The United States of Mar Vers is a small, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, zero percent divorce rate, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 32 million Mar Versians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13.2%.

The powerhouse Mar Versian economy, worth 2.94 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 91,885 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 285,472 per year while the poor average 22,755, a ratio of 12.5 to 1.

The bonfire of the old paper records can be seen for miles around Mar Vers City, getting an infected tattoo is considered a rite of passage in Mar Vers, explosive diarrhoea is not just a colorful phrase, and pawn shop reality shows dominate basic cable. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mar Vers's national animal is the leopard, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Mar Vers is ranked 102,676^th in the world and 1,347^th in the West Pacific for Safest, scoring 82.18 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
