The Republic of Maurdea is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Jiro Alvatreza with a fair hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.892 billion Maurdeans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Keyro. The average income tax rate is 37.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Maurdean economy, worth 181 trillion Maurdes a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 96,040 Maurdes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Some voters are required to show a minimum of four forms of identification, some people will do literally anything to be in the spotlight, boats straying just metres away from the shore will raise the ire of the Coast Guard, and male politicians lose their jobs for staring too long at their female counterparts. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Maurdea's national animal is the White Tailed Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Maurdea is ranked 251,201^st in the world and 1,219^th in Europeia for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 45.24 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
