Madripoor gained its independence on August 26th 1966 after its expulsion from Indonesia.

Trivia

Unlike Singapore, the country is mostly liberal, although continuing to discourage chewing gum, spitting on the street and unhygienic environmental practices. The Madripoorese educational and prison systems also match that of Norway's.
 * Until 1985, it was considered illegal to die in Madripoor. The unusual ban on death was eventually lifted by the new democratic socialist government.
 * The British-Singaporean animated series Oddbods has become popular in Madripoor, to the point that local animation studio Electric Blue Studios collaborated with One Animation in 2018 to create an extended universe based on the series.
 * A fictionalized version of Madripoor has been used as a backdrop in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
 * In Madripoor, physical bullying is punishable by juvenile detention, making it the only country to do so.
