The Republic of Marmit is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Marc Mitt with a fair hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The democratic population of 24.518 billion Marmitians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Marmitia. The average income tax rate is 33.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Marmitian economy, worth a remarkable 1,082 trillion Marms a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 44,166 Marms, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Marc Mitt has just been declared ruler of Marmit in an international press conference, legislation sometimes has to battle through weeks of filibustering to pass, abortions are routinely performed in Marmit's hospitals, and the government has declared its commitment to multilateralism. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Marmit's national animal is the Mammouth, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Islam.

Marmit is ranked 93,025^th in the world and 35^th in Equestria for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 2,198.45 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
