Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Fiefdom of Marmiedon is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Marmaduke with an even hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, ubiquitous missile silos, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 29.988 billion Marmiedonians 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, corrupt government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Marmietown. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Marmiedonian economy, worth an astonishing 10,577 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 352,729 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Ranchers are adept at mimicking wolf attacks, pretending to be prejudiced is a good way to get out of jury duty, it is illegal to distribute Girl Guide Cookies without an advanced food hygiene diploma, and lending money has become a major liability. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. 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 15,049^th in the world and 753^rd in The North Pacific for Most Secular, with 67.81 Atheism Rate.
