The Commonwealth of Morrdh is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Queen Lothwyn Boudica Cathmore II with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space. Its intelligent population of 11.114 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Defence, although Law & Order and Education are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Morrdun. The average income tax rate is 48%, but much higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Uranium Mining and Woodchip Exports.

The government has enacted freedom of information, military recruitment numbers are down as citizens object on 'moral grounds', army rations are served on silver platters, and the government strictly regulates whale harvest quotas. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Morrdh's national animal is the Desert Rat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is The Church of Ezra, and its currency is the Morridane Pound.

Morrdh is ranked 29th in Greater Dienstad and 102,672nd in the world for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 1 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
