The Most Serene Republic of Medjimurje is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 496 million Medjimurians 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 juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Grand Port of Prelog. The average income tax rate is 34.3%.

The all-consuming Medjimurjean economy, worth 50.3 trillion medjimurian kunas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Retail, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 101,499 medjimurian kunas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Leader is quite hard to get a hold of, exports are stamped with "made by the invisible hand you commies", there's a shortage of swinging hot spots as land development grinds to a halt, and the intelligence community is playing 4-D chess with an imaginary spy network. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Medjimurje's national animal is the potato of Belica, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Medjimurje is ranked 45,487^th in the world and 1,015^th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 160.28 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
