The Grand Duchy of Marldeep is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by First Chief Havelock Danelaw with an even hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 44.533 billion Marldeepians 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 minute government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Horstgraben. Income tax is unheard of.
The frighteningly efficient Marldeepian economy, worth an astonishing 29,039 trillion Kronkites a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is a breathtaking 652,085 Kronkites, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.
There's a hole in the heart of every Marldeepian city, the examiners who examine examiners are being examined by examiners, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and most ambassadors from Marldeep retire only a few years after being appointed. Crime is totally unknown. Marldeep's national animal is the Woolly Rhino, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Marldeep is ranked 41,841st in the world and 31st in Wysteria for Most Stationary, with 1,059.77333563352 days.
