The Jingoistic States of The Merry Marauders is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its avowedly heterosexual populace, compulsory vegetarianism, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.441 billion Merry Marauders are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Veggietown. The average income tax rate is 66.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Merry Maraudersian economy, worth 609 trillion Broccoli Chunks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 137,216 Broccoli Chunks, with the richest citizens earning 5.2 times as much as the poorest.
