The Dictatorship of Martd is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, parental licensing program, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 108 million Martdians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 56.0%.
The Martdian economy, worth 5.87 trillion Yamis a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 54,380 Yamis, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.
Every diamond ring sold is accompanied by a twenty-five page analysis and a waiver, midnight raids drag couples from their homes in the name of decency, the government funds large training centres to turn Cats into functioning members of society, and Chekhov's guns are killing the entertainment budget. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Martd's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Martd is ranked 81,739th in the world and 100th in The Order of the Grey Wardens for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 56.01 Effective Tax Rate.
