The Federal Republic of Marmadania is a huge, safe nation, ruled by The Federal Council with an even hand, and remarkable for its public floggings, frequent executions, and digital currency. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 878 million Marmadanians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Maestrale. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Marmadanian economy, worth 111 trillion Marmadanian Valyrs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 126,993 Marmadanian Valyrs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 437,180 per year while the poor average 27,027, a ratio of 16.2 to 1.

Economic output is rising as the chronically depressed are persuaded not to burden society, many of the poor live from cradle to grave without ever seeing sunlight, the children of Marmadania are often remarked upon for their cheery attitude to extreme violence, and bike rage is all the rage. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Marmadania's national animal is the White-Headed Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Marmadania is ranked 124,140^th in the world and 2,661^st in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 63.45 law-abiding acts per hour.
