The Great Herd of Mokranshi is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by The Elder Council with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, daily referendums, and complete absence of social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 2.624 billion Mokrani have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kotan Kane. The average income tax rate is 33.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Mokrani economy, worth 214 trillion shards a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 81,702 shards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The government has cut its subsidies for all special interest groups, practising saying 'how now brown cow' is an essential part of holiday planning, forest fires have dropped dramatically as there are hardly any forests left, and immigrant herding has become a national pastime. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mokranshi's national animal is the orca, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is The Cult of Mulcarn.

Mokranshi is ranked 33,471^st in the world and 3^rd in Gwalethia for Most Efficient Economies, scoring 93.78 on the Krugman-Greenspan Business Outlook Index.
