The Dispatches of Moratory is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.626 billion Moratoryians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 55.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Moratoryian economy, worth 13.8 trillion rubledollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Soda Sales, Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 8,477 rubledollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens are barcoded to keep track of their movements, organ donation is compulsory, military spending recently hit a new high, and the military perceives nations hit by natural disasters as "easy pickings". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Moratory's national animal is the hawk.

Moratory is ranked 65,919^th in the world and 4^th in Fat beagle for Most Corrupt Governments, with 32.07 kickbacks per hour.
