The Federation of Mortionia is a small, genial nation, remarkable for its anti-smoking policies and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 29 million Mortionians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The relatively small government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Welfare, and Defense are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. The average income tax rate is 11.0%.
The strong Mortionian economy, worth 2.23 trillion Mortionian lire a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 77,044 Mortionian lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.
Some Mortionian athletes have defected to Blackacre after being denied the chance to compete in international sporting events, the police have been known to wiretap confessional boxes, government officials are held to the highest standard of morality, and every new building project has to undergo a five-year environmental impact study before it can go ahead. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Mortionia's national animal is the Morbius, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Mortionia is ranked 42,505th in the world and 51st in Texas for Smartest Citizens, with 40.86 quips per hour.
