The Kingdom of Mardalengoth is a very large, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its burgeoning Reindeer population. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 162 million Mardalengothians 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 Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 24.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Mardalengothian economy, worth 6.35 trillion Kronor a year, is quite specialized and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 39,170 Kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Group hugs break out during floor votes, organ donation rates have hit a new low, employers may fire workers without giving any reason, and a valid legal defense is 'dead men tell no tales'. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mardalengoth's national animal is the Reindeer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mardalengoth is ranked 266,079^th in the world and 114^th in Geopolity for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -8.1 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
