The City State of Marmiedon is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Marmaduke with an iron fist, and renowned for its parental licensing program, sprawling nuclear power plants, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 39.607 billion Marmiedonians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Marmietown. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Marmiedonian economy, worth an astonishing 15,118 trillion Crypto-donuts a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 381,721 Crypto-donuts, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,123,337 per year while the poor average 102,130, a ratio of 11.0 to 1.

Six-year-old children playing dress-up are viewed with suspicion, access to the woods is only granted to those who bring a small shrubbery, diplomatic fallout tends to be much more dangerous than radioactive fallout, and the overhead luggage compartment is often full. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 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 5,046^th in the world and 257^th in The North Pacific for Highest Food Quality, scoring 206.41 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
