Marovia is a country that has been ruled by the same Supreme Director for 18 years. This leader mandates that all citizens must participate in 30 minutes of communal morning exercise, consume only state-approved nutritional shakes, and turn off all non-essential electricity by 10:00 PM. The Supreme Director's mandates are prominently displayed on digital street screens and are repeated via hourly smart-speaker broadcasts in all residential areas. Citizens who fail to comply are publicly named on digital community boards and have their regional transit passes suspended.
