The Soviet Revolutionary State of The Workers of Markonia is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Ralph Jung with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates.

The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 85,913 Markonian Worker credit, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Citizens who don't attend the nation's massive military parades tend to disappear overnight, invasive species are hunted by the gendarmerie, conspiracy theorists allege Markonia City's new subway map resembles Satanic symbols, and the The Workers of Markonian Arts Council pays teenagers to sit through opera performances. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Workers of Markonia's national animal is the Bull, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
