The Republic of Moratium is a huge, efficient nation, ruled by President Arkolius with a fair hand, and remarkable for its national health service, otherworldly petting zoo, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 877 million Moratius hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Marlinorium. The average income tax rate is 42.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Moratis economy, worth 81.8 trillion Zerans a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 93,315 Zerans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

One can walk from one side of Marlinorium to the other without setting foot on Moratis soil, the government is spending serious cheddar protecting sewer rats, the acceptance of acupuncture and other alternative therapies has needled the scientific community, and corporations continue to displace native peoples off their land. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Moratium's national animal is the Atrale'a Bird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Moratium is ranked 93,535^th in the world and 16^th in Kantrias for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 2,191.61 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
