The Enthron Puppet State of Morvus is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Father Fotis with an iron fist, and renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, public floggings, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 13.157 billion Morvusians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mount Panoukla. The average income tax rate is 72.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Morvusian economy, worth a remarkable 1,327 trillion Burdens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 100,933 Burdens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.
The well-to-do in Osiris are never on time for important appointments, public urination is on the increase, too many hyper-intelligent chefs can spoil the allegorical broth, and terrorists are on a first name basis with the officials that stamp their passports. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Morvus's national animal is the Locust, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Panouklaism.
Morvus is ranked 119,277th in the world and 5,092nd in Osiris for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 2,649.56 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
