Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Idyllic Paradise of Mograpelandia is a gargantuan, economically powerful nation, ruled by Charlie with a fair hand, and remarkable for its hatred of cheese. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 20.012 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Education, although Social Welfare and Social Equality are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Clutchington. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

Saturday morning cartoons feature full frontal nudity, eminent domain has been abolished, elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates, and leather-clad individuals can be seen walking their slaves in public parks. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mograpelandia's national animal is the Armadillo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the spiff.

Mograpelandia is ranked 7th in Lake ilopango and 101,439th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -92 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
