Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Polychotomy of Morologus is a massive, economically powerful nation, ruled by Hugh Jass with a fair hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 2.422 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 24%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Pizza Delivery industry, followed by Beef-Based Agriculture and Basket Weaving.

Military geniuses responsible for brilliant campaigns are drummed out because they have close same-sex friends and an interest in interior design, the nation's new foreign policy of 'very disproportionate retribution' has its neighbors on edge, new safety regulations require all cars manufactured in Morologus to be bombproof, and the military frequently holds bake sales to raise funds. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Morologus's national animal is the Blue-Crested Lobster, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Tit.

Morologus is ranked 1st in The Tropic of Libra and 74,137th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -15 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
