The Empire of Morian is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Kaiser Hathelm II with a fair hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.492 billion Morians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large, 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 42.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Morianian economy, worth 78.6 trillion Willy W-Marks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 52,666 Willy W-Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly, new treatments are rejected if they cannot be explained using only one-syllable words, blind dates tend to result in bruised shins, and drivers are told they're not staring at mobile phone screens enough. 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, and its national religion is Protestant.

Morian is ranked 74,781^st in the world and 1,891^st in the South Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 50.99 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
