The Empire of Morian is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Kaiser Hathelm II with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, anti-smoking policies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.352 billion Morians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Berwien. The average income tax rate is 34.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Morianian economy, worth 76.9 trillion Willy W-Marks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 56,866 Willy W-Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Ignorance is considered a politically desirable quality, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, Berwien spends billions upgrading public transport, and drunk drivers are sent to rehabilitation paid for by the government. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Morian's national animal is the Alpine marmots, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Morian is ranked 73,141^st in the world and 1,587^th in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 69.71 law-abiding acts per hour.
