The Commonwealth of Marik is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by First Minister Michal Hasek with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, democratic population of 21.139 billion Mariks 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 government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dormuth. The average income tax rate is 29.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Marik economy, worth a remarkable 1,609 trillion euromarks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 76,124 euromarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens who plan overseas vacations are barred from running for political office, a little love goes a long way claim Marik news, wars of expansion are described as "peacekeeping operations", and small businesses are gobbled up almost daily by corporate giants. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Marik's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is New Avalon Catholic Church.

Marik is ranked 52,239^th in the world and 1^st in Czechia for Highest Poor Incomes, with 53,732.29 Standard Monetary Units.
