The Sultanate of Marooned Castaways is a titanic, orderly nation, remarkable for its punitive income tax rates and restrictive gun laws. The cynical population of 21.894 billion Marooned Castawaysians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Social Policy, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 60.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Marooned Castawaysian economy, worth 448 trillion Coconuts a year, is highly specialized and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 20,497 Coconuts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Marooned Castaways's national animal is the Monkey.

Marooned Castaways is ranked 135,407^th in the world and 6,860^th in Lazarus for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 42 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
