The Empire of Mortand is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its burgeoning bison population. The hard-working population of 16.996 billion Mortandians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.
The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Spirituality. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 16.6%.
The very strong Mortandian economy, worth 958 trillion rubles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Furniture Restoration, and Information Technology. Average income is 56,422 rubles, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 172,358 per year while the poor average 14,316, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.
Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Mortand's national animal is the bison.
Mortand is ranked 157,113th in the world and 9,608th in Lazarus for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 1,178.37 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
