The Most Serene Republic of Medjimurje is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons, enslaved workforce, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 477 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. The average income tax rate is 32.5%.

The all-consuming Medjimurjean economy, worth 48.1 trillion medjimurian kunas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Retail, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 100,875 medjimurian kunas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians are fired for opening subjective statements with "I believe", dentists routinely perform open heart surgery, begun the Clone Wars have, and citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable 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 205,303^rd in the world and 3,960^th in the South Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 49.5 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
