The Dangly ⚾⚾ of The Mariners of Seattle is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Ichiro with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, smutty television, and digital currency. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cheerful population of 8.589 billion Seattle Mariners enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kickback City Kingdome. The average income tax rate is 10.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Seattleite Marineasque economy, worth a remarkable 2,442 trillion Nintendo Points a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Gambling. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 284,429 Nintendo Points, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Social media sites prompt users to send birthday greetings to unresponsive nonagenarians, all recreational drugs are legal, the nation has chosen not to live in interesting times, and walking to the local pizza parlour earns a lovely sports participation ribbon. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. The Mariners of Seattle's national animal is the Mariner Moose, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

The Mariners of Seattle is ranked 3,303rd in the world and 119th in Balder for Highest Food Quality, scoring 238.43 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
