The Cornelian Dominion of Maritzal is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Cornelius I with an iron fist, and renowned for its closed borders, museums and concert halls, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 21.564 billion Maritzalians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The tiny, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Meridian. The average income tax rate is 64.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Maritzalian economy, worth an astonishing 12,147 trillion Pistas 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 black market in Information Technology, Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. 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 a breathtaking 563,327 Pistas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.
Exterminator companies deploy nerve gas in turf wars, the nation's endangered species are no longer endangered, only AIs know why the nation is rapidly increasing its semiconductor stockpile, and the people are famous throughout the region for their perfect yellow teeth. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Maritzal's national animal is the Cat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Order Of Our Lord Cornelius.
Maritzal is ranked 331,444th in the world and 1,462nd in Europe for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -35.07 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
