The Commonwealth of Moracore is a massive, genial nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 1.258 billion Moracoreans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 69.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Moracorean economy, worth 84.5 trillion dollars 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 Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 67,137 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Census workers struggle to account for the rapidly increasing number of citizens to tabulate, it turns out you can teach cats new tricks, geosynchronous satellites are now manned by unpaid interns, and at customs baggage gets an x-ray and female travelers get an ultrasound. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Moracore's national animal is the house cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Moracore is ranked 49,144^th in the world and 1,149^th in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 76.91 law-abiding acts per hour.
