The Ruthless Ways of Capt Morgan is a gargantuan, economically powerful nation, renowned for its anti-smoking policies. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 21.384 billion are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny government is effectively ruled by the Department of Law & Order, with areas such as Education and Healthcare receiving almost no funds by comparison. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10%. A large private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Gambling and Door-to-door Insurance Sales.

Divorce is illegal, genetic researchers have been expelled, the government is reigning in public spending, and young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables. Crime is a problem. Capt Morgan's national animal is the captain, and its currency is the bottles of rum.

Capt Morgan is ranked 3rd in World Pirates Alliance and 96,306th in the world for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 4 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
