Location from Attack on Titan by Hajime Isayama
A continental military superpower that conquered most of the known world using weaponized Eldian Titans. Now faces obsolescence as conventional weapons catch up to Titan power.
Marley built its empire on the backs of the people it despises. After overthrowing the Eldian Empire, Marley inherited seven of the Nine Titans and spent the next century using Eldians — confined to internment zones, stripped of rights, forced to wear armbands — as living weapons of war. Eldian children compete for the 'honor' of inheriting a Titan power, knowing it means dying in thirteen years. The irony is structural: Marley's military dominance depends entirely on the race it treats as subhuman. As anti-Titan weaponry advances across the world, Marley grows desperate, which makes it more dangerous. Its cities are modern, its military is vast, its propaganda is effective, and its cruelty is systematic. Marley doesn't hate Eldians the way individuals hate. It hates the way institutions hate — efficiently, bureaucratically, and with paperwork.
