The Academic Community of University of Mars is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Provost Clyde Tombaugh III with a fair hand, and remarkable for its soft-spoken computers, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 13.746 billion students love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government prioritizes Education, with Environment, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda, while Defense and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lowell College. The average income tax rate is 96.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Martian economy, worth a remarkable 1,933 trillion Federation Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 140,633 Federation Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The government has stated an intention to min-max its stats for 'teh pwnage', a mushroom a day keeps the sadness away, politicians look weirdly alike, and earthquake sirens are a leading cause of hearing loss. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. University of Mars's national animal is the Marvin the Martian, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Transhumanism.

University of Mars is ranked 13,371st in the world and 2nd in Federation of Martian Colonies for Most Stationary, with 1,908.07602188612 days.
