The A Mean Old of Marrabuk is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by General-Admiral Mat Hardy with an even hand, and notable for its digital currency, compulsory military service, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 19.146 billion Marrabukians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Los Aminah. The average income tax rate is 96.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Marrabukian economy, worth a remarkable 3,998 trillion Marrabuk Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 208,864 Marrabuk Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Armed police are cracking down on untaxed collectable-card-trading in local junior schools, pedal-powered removal vans are a popular Maxxmas gift for the children of separated parents, General-Admiral Mat Hardy's latest speech included a bizarre reference to MaxWow incontinence pads being 50% more absorbent than the next leading brand, and the Counter-Terrorism Unit has been nicknamed "Big Bad Wolf" for its tendency towards urban demolition. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Marrabuk's national animal is the Electric Marrabuk Horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Spiky Nose Hair.

Marrabuk is ranked 76,268^th in the world and 439^th in The East Pacific for Largest Black Market, with 4.93 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
