The Republic of Marionnette Agricole is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program, free-roaming dinosaurs, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 2.525 billion Marionnette Agricoleans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 50.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Marionnette Agricolean economy, worth 371 trillion Banks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 147,260 Banks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Things are looking up for patients accidentally prescribed erectile dysfunction medication, a formerly quiet little town is now booming as both a cult centre and a tourist attraction, the nation solves other countries' human rights problems with a generous dose of violence, and politicians can't accept birthday presents from their own children. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Marionnette Agricole's national animal is the Butterfly, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Marionnette Agricole is ranked 292,857th in the world and 75th in The Region of Mine for Most Primitive, scoring -247.64 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
