The World of MORASPIL is a mammoth, cultured nation, renowned for its disturbing lack of elderly people, compulsory military service, and parental licensing program. The cynical, devout population of 6.815 billion MORASPILians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 43.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong MORASPILian economy, worth 450 trillion golds a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 66,035 golds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tree farms across the nation are overrun by clipboard-wielding biologists, large sections of MORASPIL have been named national reserves to protect the native tribes living there, an epidemic of unpopped kernels causes movie goers to gnash their teeth, and money is being desperately pumped into the ruined economy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. MORASPIL's national animal is the Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

MORASPIL is ranked 115,867^th in the world and 56^th in Gay for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 707.09 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
