The Holy Empire of Morshu is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by The Great and Mighty Merchant Morshu with an iron fist, and notable for its parental licensing program, flagrant waste-dumping, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 14.869 billion Morshuans are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Goronu. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Morshuan economy, worth a remarkable 3,106 trillion Rubies a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 208,948 Rubies, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,180,628 per year while the poor average 18,157, a ratio of 65.0 to 1.

The nanny industry has had a boom after maternity leave was recently banned, playing an online nation simulation game legally obliges you to buy the creator's latest novel, Occam's razor has sliced to pieces any childhood belief in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy, and amusement park rides frequently collapse due to lack of maintenance. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Morshu's national animal is the Dodongo, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Ropoilbombology.

Morshu is ranked 93,785^th in the world and 1^st in The Great and Mighty Region of Morshu for Lowest Crime Rates, with 66.66 law-abiding acts per hour.
