“Death Makes All Men Equal; Life Makes All Men Brothers”

The Unified Commonwealth of Morrdh is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Queen Lothwyn with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed population of 4.141 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass -- is mainly concerned with Defence, although Healthcare and Law & Order are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Morrdun. The average income tax rate is 50%, and even 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 recent ban on computers is causing havoc throughout the nation, Amnesty Interregional has condemned Morrdh for ignoring crimes against humanity, high-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, and citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes. 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 Morridane Wildcat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Morridane Pound.

Morrdh is ranked 28th in the region and 13,223rd in the world for Largest Publishing Industry.
