The Republic of Morbid-Margins is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 7 million Morbid-Marginsians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny government is primarily concerned with Administration, although Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.2%.

The very strong Morbid-Marginsian economy, worth 472 billion Dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Basket Weaving, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 67,494 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 9.2 times as much as the poorest.

The law says it's okay to sell a bomb to a terrorist so long as they promise not to detonate it, an internet search for the word "bland" produces pictures of Leader, 1% of global paper production is bound for the National Archive, and foreign leaders are advising that Leader's letters must have gotten lost in the mail. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Morbid-Margins's national animal is the River Otter, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Morbid-Margins is ranked 215,011^th in the world and 3,039^th in the South Pacific for Highest Poor Incomes, with 19,979.6 Standard Monetary Units.
