The Kingdom of Marinatambal is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Queen Hanera of Gamas-buyu with an even hand, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate population of 2.812 billion marinatans 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 Healthcare, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mairi. The average income tax rate is 27.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong marinatam economy, worth 226 trillion rugs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 80,725 rugs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Children often explain to their parents that the Mega Ultimate Sword Fist was worth the thousand-rug charge on their phone bill, the tightness of border controls in Marinatambal leave a little to be desired, ghost regiments exist only on paper, and clergy never mention brand names for fear of losing their government subsidies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Marinatambal's national animal is the carabao, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Amazonic Neopaganism.

Marinatambal is ranked 121,630th in the world and 27th in Arakeia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,682.99 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
