The State of Mordae is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by High Commissioner with an even hand, and notable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, compulsory vegetarianism, and restrictive gun laws. The quiet, industrious population of 39.645 billion Mordaeans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Environment, and Public Transport. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dominion Heights. The average income tax rate is 82.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The enormous but inefficient Mordaean economy, worth a remarkable 1,661 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 41,908 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Homosexuality is a crime punishable by death, Mordae has designated Dominion Heights as its capital city, High Commissioner has just been declared ruler of Mordae in an international press conference, and a soldier's body is a temple. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mordae's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mordae is ranked 27,834^th in the world and 10^th in 0000 for Most Beautiful Environments, with 864.2 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
