The Most Serene Republic of Medjimurje is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its flagrant waste-dumping, infamous sell-swords, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 437 million Medjimurians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Grand Port of Prelog. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 30.8%.

The all-consuming Medjimurjean economy, worth 41.6 trillion medjimurian kunas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 95,232 medjimurian kunas, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 314,361 per year while the poor average 21,583, a ratio of 14.6 to 1.

No one tells their son "you're the man of the house" any more, the government has officially clarified that "wee on your hands to save time" does not count as proper hygiene, tourist operators promise visitors tours of live burning shipwrecks and plane crash sites, and people seem disproportionately distraught when told a museum has a phones-off policy. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Medjimurje's national animal is the potato of Belica, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Medjimurje is ranked 33,936^th in the world and 588^th in the South Pacific for Most Corrupt Governments, with 64.26 kickbacks per hour.
