The Confederacy of Morgastan is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 218 million Morgastanians 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 medium-sized, pro-business, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Industry, Administration, and Healthcare are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 22.5%.

The all-consuming Morgastanian economy, worth 15.0 trillion Stars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 68,781 Stars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 477,330 per year while the poor average 3,467, a ratio of 137 to 1.

The importance of winning Olympic gold medals is indoctrinated from an early age, the nation was recently voted as the most stylish in The Embassy, sprinters achieve their personal bests only when the Olympic Team recruiters come calling, and foreign students are expected to have a Kegmeister Grade Average of 36-24-36 to qualify for university. Crime is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Morgastan's national animal is the White Tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Morgastan is ranked 282,967^th in the world and 47^th in The Embassy for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -14.83 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
