The Empire of Madrueji is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Shah Ikram el-Habib with an iron fist, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, deadly medical pandemics, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 2.515 billion Madruejians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Khorralkhal. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 74.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Madruejian economy, worth 561 trillion Dinars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 223,099 Dinars, with the richest citizens earning 6.3 times as much as the poorest.

Pregnant hitchhikers with signs requesting rides to "competent care" are a common sight on Madruejian roads, the Small Council has more than a little influence, the national water supply has entered detox, and public shaming has become the favoured form of punishment. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Madrueji's national animal is the Roc, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Zoroastrianism.

Madrueji is ranked 257,947^th in the world and 11,507^th in The North Pacific for Healthiest Citizens, with 0.41 bananas ingested per day.
