The Morganist Empire of Greater Pittsburgh

“Three rivers, one Queen, one Empire.”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Morganist Empire of Greater Pittsburgh is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Empress Cassandria I with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, unlimited-speed roads, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 10.282 billion Pittsburghers hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pittsburgh. The average income tax rate is 91.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pittsburghian economy, worth a remarkable 2,305 trillion Golden Morgan Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 224,271 Golden Morgan Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Giggling teens are asked to put their mouths on rubber dolls, internet ads promising "hot singles in your area" are even less accurate than they used to be, viewers get headaches from trying to read the screen full of small print warnings that precede most TV shows, and visitors often mistake the toiletplex at music festivals for the main stage. Crime is totally unknown. Greater Pittsburgh's national animal is the Crow, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Violetism.

Greater Pittsburgh is ranked 86,050^th in the world and 3,689^th in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 2,322.07 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
