The City State of Marmiedon is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Marmaduke with an iron fist, and renowned for its daily referendums, enslaved workforce, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 39.582 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 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 15,119 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 381,978 Crypto-donuts, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,117,536 per year while the poor average 103,043, a ratio of 10.8 to 1.
Tourists flock to see the giant stone carvings of historical leaders at Mount Rushless, young girls and senior citizens alike can be spotted wearing colourful short shorts, women no longer need to pepper conversations with incessant references to fictitious husbands, and frequent fliers are obliged to submit to invasive security procedures by government security. 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 4,091st in the world and 220th in The North Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 2,603.69 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
