The Blazing Hot Frontier of MORNINGCALM is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Ranger with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 12.589 billion Hands 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hells Hottest Gate. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 47.8%.
The frighteningly efficient MORNINGCALMian economy, worth a remarkable 1,265 trillion Cactus Thorns a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 100,540 Cactus Thorns, with the richest citizens earning 8.9 times as much as the poorest.
The government keeps introducing new foreign species to combat the previous ones it has introduced, park rangers perform full-body searches on suspected fungus smugglers, small patches of desolate land across the world are part of MORNINGCALMian sovereign territory, and the government has embraced apartheid. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. MORNINGCALM's national animal is the Roadrunner, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Hard Work.
MORNINGCALM is ranked 100,160th in the world and 2nd in The Flying Fishes Bait Shop for Lowest Crime Rates, with 65.84 law-abiding acts per hour.
