The Dragon Monarchy of Maripuu is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Katarina with an iron fist, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 16.126 billion Maripuuans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Achia. The average income tax rate is 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Maripuuan economy, worth a remarkable 6,004 trillion Maris a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 372,350 Maris, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway, heirs who take too long in the bathroom are declared missing and presumed dead, concussed Dragonball players cannot remember their lineup position, and basic multiplication is all you need to know to have a child. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Maripuu's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Katianism.

Maripuu is ranked 25,892^nd in the world and 523^rd in The North Pacific for Most Authoritarian, with 2,679.16 milliStalins.
