The Kingdom of Marnotko is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its smutty television, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 100 million Marnotkoans enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The relatively small, pro-business, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Law & Order, with Administration, Industry, and Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.4%.

The powerhouse Marnotkoan economy, worth 6.98 trillion Her Majesty’s Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is 69,774 Her Majesty’s Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 233,540 per year while the poor average 15,490, a ratio of 15.1 to 1.

It is mandatory to learn evolution in schools, a stitch in time could see you serving nine, fruit vendors are encouraging a life of crime in their advertising, and roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force. Marnotko's national animal is the Dog.

Marnotko is ranked 299,925^th in the world and 1^st in A Unified Caribbean for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 204.65 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
