The Aldorrian Republic of Mardatan is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Consul Mannerheim with an even hand, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, anti-smoking policies, and soft-spoken computers. The compassionate population of 13.438 billion Aldorrians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Administration, Education, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aldorria. The average income tax rate is 97.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Mardatanian economy, worth a remarkable 2,931 trillion Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 218,165 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Practising saying 'how now brown cow' is an essential part of holiday planning, corrupt Party bureaucrats are being voted out of office in overwhelming numbers, elementary school students are required to master Bach's Chaconne in D before graduation, and older ladies are inundated with offers to help them cross the road. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Mardatan's national animal is the Tempestan Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Viktorianism.

Mardatan is ranked 135,072^nd in the world and 10^th in Aldorria for Safest, scoring 67.2 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
