The Grand Duchy of Maradain is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Grand Duchess Maria with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, pith helmet sales, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 8.255 billion Maradainians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, although Administration, Spirituality, and Defense are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tsaritsyn. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 33.9%.

The powerhouse Maradainian economy, worth 642 trillion Rubles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 77,821 Rubles, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 293,518 per year while the poor average 14,373, a ratio of 20.4 to 1.

It is a silent spring in Maradain, educators and parents alike are allowing children to view the internet again after violent videos were purged, consumption of cat memes has skyrocketed, and Eastern Orthodox Christianity has been named as Maradain's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Maradain's national animal is the Double-headed Eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Eastern Orthodox Christianity.

Maradain is ranked 226,436^th in the world and 17^th in Modorra for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -7 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
