The Evermore of Marjorie- is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical, devout population of 6.404 billion Marjorie-ians 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 70.3%.
The frighteningly efficient Marjorie-ian economy, worth 757 trillion francs a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 118,283 francs, with the richest citizens earning 9.0 times as much as the poorest.
Parents must choose their children's names from a government-mandated master list, the nation's declaring that sharing nukes is caring, parents seeking custody have to write a five-thousand word analysis of their child's imaginary friend, and the military is researching proton packs and PK-meters to combat "unseen enemy forces". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Marjorie-'s national animal is the dove, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.
Marjorie- is ranked 53,981st in the world and 247th in Stereo Hearts for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 4,054.28 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
