The Fiefdom of Mortons Fork is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 5.502 billion Mortons Forkians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.8%.

The very strong Mortons Forkian economy, worth 329 trillion guilders a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Trout Farming, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 59,829 guilders, with the richest citizens earning 8.4 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Mortons Fork's national animal is the bison, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Mortons Fork is ranked 26,892^nd in the world and 1^st in England for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 90 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
