The City State of Marmiedon is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Marmaduke with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, frequent executions, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 31.303 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 11,344 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 common. Average income is an amazing 362,424 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 6.4 times as much as the poorest.

Police officers that upset their bosses get assigned to 24 hour stakeouts of bike sheds, dreams of replicator technology have been dashed following a ban on 3D printers, local mafias have a tough time disposing of dead snitches without catching the attention of recycling authorities, and immersive video game experiences are interrupted by incessant disclaimer pop-ups. 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 3,284^th in the world and 189^th in The North Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 95.82 on the Human Development Index.
