The Colony of Marikonanta is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 18.481 billion Marikonantans 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Spirituality, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 21.2%.

The Marikonantan economy, worth 977 trillion hinodejin crowns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. Average income is 52,866 hinodejin crowns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Marikonanta's national animal is the crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Marikonanta is ranked 210,092^nd in the world and 108^th in Emirates of Futurnia for Highest Drug Use, scoring 77 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
