The People's Republic of Morkratt is a very large, cultured nation, notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate population of 187 million Morkrattians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 51.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Morkrattian economy, worth 12.9 trillion skarns a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 69,121 skarns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Diplomatic fallout tends to be much more dangerous than radioactive fallout, teachers are routinely tested to keep their jobs, court verdicts are predictable to within a hundredth of a percentage point, and proper policy proposals prerequire professional peer-reviewed papers. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Morkratt's national animal is the Rat, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Morkratt is ranked 248,545^th in the world and 2,097^th in the Pacific for Largest Populations, with 187 million capita.
