The Republic of Mardom is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Rosy Waggle with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, zero percent divorce rate, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 7.611 billion Mardomians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Micester. The average income tax rate is 79.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Mardomian economy, worth 638 trillion guilders a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 83,837 guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Rosy Waggle is considering changing the nation's name to Blackacre, depression sinks in after each election when voters realize they are stuck with these people for years, in musicals everybody's a little bit racist, and orphans would rather live their life of luxury than be adopted by prospective parents. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mardom's national animal is the hedgehog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Congregation of the Five Gods.

Mardom is ranked 14,084^th in the world and 380^th in The East Pacific for Safest, scoring 117.32 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
