The Empire of Byzantine Morea is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, cynical, devout population of 327 million Byzantines are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Spirituality, although Healthcare, Defense, and Administration are also considered important. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 16.2%.

The strong Byzantine economy, worth 21.0 trillion soliduses a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Pizza Delivery, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 64,261 soliduses, with the richest citizens earning 7.7 times as much as the poorest.

Belligerent citizens shoot at passing clouds for 'violating their airspace', the police have taken to prying guns out of the cold fingers of Byzantines, the government has strong opinions about what goes into your bodily orifices, and gay men commonly complain about their time of the month. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Byzantine Morea's national animal is the eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Byzantine Morea is ranked 26,789^th in the world and 26^th in The Land of Kings and Emperors for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 5,639.97 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
