The Areditan Colony of Maredita is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.271 billion Mareditans 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 relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.5%.

The Mareditan economy, worth 62.1 trillion Heribages a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Average income is 48,828 Heribages, with the richest citizens earning 5.9 times as much as the poorest.

There's nothing more rock-and-roll than absolute sobriety, relations with Dàguó have warmed from frosty to chilly, students are known to arrive at school in their pyjamas, and most ambassadors from Maredita retire only a few years after being appointed. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Maredita's national animal is the Loggerhead Sea Turtle.

Maredita is ranked 135,079^th in the world and 5,638^th in The East Pacific for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 664.83 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
