The Dauphinate of Murden is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Dauphin Theodore I with a fair hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, otherworldly petting zoo, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 18.098 billion Murdenites are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alexandros. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient Murdenian economy, worth a remarkable 5,330 trillion drachmas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 294,520 drachmas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The government is washing its hands of alleged corruption, the volume of paperwork used to complete a single environmental assessment defeats the purpose, the "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Alexandros Times is sold out, and weekends are spent tilting at windmills. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Murden's national animal is the common dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Greco-Egyptian Syncretism.
Murden is ranked 26,439th in the world and 63rd in Europeia for Most Patriotic, with 45.97 flags saluted per person per day.
