The Queendom of Mary is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its daily referendums, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 3.679 billion Maryians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Spikemuth. The average income tax rate is 82.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Maryian economy, worth 730 trillion Pokémon dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 198,539 Pokémon dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children need to wear helmets and safety harnesses before mounting a carousel horse, the "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Spikemuth Times is sold out, Leader's office has a newly installed Max-Man arcade game programmed by a 5th-grader, and bars are packed at all hours. Crime is totally unknown. Mary's national animal is the morpeko, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mary is ranked 281,488^th in the world and 3,708^th in Ambition for Most Primitive, scoring -363.9 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
