The Carthusian Hermit of Fatty the Marmot is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Abbot Fatty with an iron fist, and remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, fear of technology, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 15.336 billion Marmots are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The enormous, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Grand Chartreuse. The average income tax rate is 65.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The Marmeltier economy, worth 502 trillion Clovers a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 32,744 Clovers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Tourists are denied entry because of a distant relative married to a Lilliputian, Abbot Fatty has just been declared ruler of Fatty the Marmot in an international press conference, Fatty the Marmot has designated Grand Chartreuse as its capital city, and Carthusian Use Catholicism has been named as Fatty the Marmot's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fatty the Marmot's national animal is the Woodchuck, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Carthusian Use Catholicism.
Fatty the Marmot is ranked 304,689th in the world and 7th in Royal Federal Republic of Free States for Most Patriotic, with 0.63 flags saluted per person per day.
