The Most Serene Republic of Morrises is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space and compulsory military service. The democratic population of 229 million Morrisesians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 16.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Morrisesian economy, worth 12.0 trillion Raches a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Cheese Exports, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 52,337 Raches, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prime commercial land is being swamped with archaeological teams, scientists pester asteroids with probes until they go away, kids are taught in schools to argue with their parents, and the combined alert sound of a nation simultaneously receiving a text message is a common cause of hearing damage. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Morrises's national animal is the Grizzly Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Morrises is ranked 227,326^th in the world and 159^th in Benigtopia for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -1.98 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
