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

The City State of Marmiedon is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Marmaduke with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, complete lack of prisons, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 31.308 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 tiny, corrupt government 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 11,333 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 extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 361,999 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 6.4 times as much as the poorest.

Immersive video game experiences are interrupted by incessant disclaimer pop-ups, ill and injured visitors in Marmiedon have to walk it off until they return home, Marmaduke's family members carry literal get-out-of-jail-free cards, and looting and pillaging are now considered vital intelligence-gathering activities. 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 1,061^st in the world and 41^st in The North Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 361,999.7 Standard Monetary Units.
