The Armed Marine Corps of Nagaramarin Yankee is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Squad Leader Yoeda with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, pith helmet sales, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, devout population of 6.308 billion Nagaramarins are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fort Yankee. The average income tax rate is 66.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse Nagaramarin economy, worth 516 trillion Roetiis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 81,917 Roetiis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.
The government only invests in infrastructure after a natural disaster, airplane passengers have been known to stuff pillows in their jackets to get extra arm room, it ain't easy to be green enough to be imported into Nagaramarin Yankee, and the nation's prisons are touted as the best weight loss programs money can't buy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nagaramarin Yankee's national animal is the Komodo, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Samoedra.
Nagaramarin Yankee is ranked 57,759th in the world and 26th in Empire of Love for Lowest Crime Rates, with 72.27 law-abiding acts per hour.
