The City-State of Madrinpoor is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Shogun Obuda with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, aversion to nipples, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The compassionate population of 7.369 billion Madris enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Madrinpoor. The average income tax rate is 61.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Madri economy, worth 849 trillion liberos a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 115,308 liberos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Ships no longer sail as no one wants to encounter Madri pirates, a recent political debate came to a quick close once the ruling party decreed it was "just plain silly", laborers are building walls and making Wezeltonia pay for it, and the government's suicide hotline now redirects callers to local tax lawyers. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Madrinpoor's national animal is the parrot, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Shintō.

Madrinpoor is ranked 270,844^th in the world and 93^rd in Liberal Democratic Union for Most Primitive, scoring -246.73 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
