The Disciplined Republic of Maravell is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by The Prime Custodian with an even hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, compulsory military service, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate population of 2.691 billion Maravellians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Solgrith. The average income tax rate is 91.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Maravellian economy, worth 431 trillion Marins a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 160,444 Marins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Matryoshka dolls resembling nested Death Stars are commonly sold, the fastest way to the afterlife is to bet on it, you can get married in sickness and in health but not internationally, and the ego of former emperors tend to match their stature. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Maravell's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Maravell is ranked 121,725^th in the world and 522^nd in Europeia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,720.23 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
