The City State of Marmiedon is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Marmaduke with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 39.409 billion Marmiedonians 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Marmietown. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.7%.
The frighteningly efficient Marmiedonian economy, worth an astonishing 14,963 trillion Crypto-donuts a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 379,700 Crypto-donuts, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,130,649 per year while the poor average 99,910, a ratio of 11.3 to 1.
The entire entry for Marmiedon in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the World reads 'mostly harmless', the armed forces are locked in an expensive and bloody war abroad to stamp out possible terrorists, weighted heels are added to military boots to ensure diminutive celebrities meet minimum requirements, and the government is deliberately installing bloatware onto computers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Marmiedon's national animal is the great cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Felineism.
Marmiedon is ranked 14,847th in the world and 378th in The North Pacific for Most Stationary, with 1,787.93290433332 days.
