The Jingoistic Police State of Mowte is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Supreme Leader Dick Tator with an iron fist, and notable for its avant-garde cinema, unlimited-speed roads, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.613 billion Morticians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, corrupt, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Defense, although Industry and Spirituality are also considered important, while Environment and Education receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kloraus Tet City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Postmortem economy, worth 825 trillion Topper-Cents a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 147,005 Topper-Cents, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,162,489 per year while the poor average 4,534, a ratio of 256 to 1.

Recent events in Dàguó have been classified 'for Supreme Leader Dick Tator's eyes only', paralegals spend all day Hewlett-Packing attorneys' law briefs, schoolchildren are arrested for possessing sidewalk chalk without a permit, and military spending is on the increase. Crime is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Mowte's national animal is the Spider-Emu, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Worship of our savior Dick Tator.

Mowte is ranked 292,761^st in the world and 322^nd in Forest for Lowest Crime Rates, with 5.03 law-abiding acts per hour.
