The Confederacy of Morgastan

“The best part is no part”

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

The Confederacy of Morgastan is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its enslaved workforce, keen interest in outer space, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 200 million Morgastanians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The medium-sized, pro-business, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry, Administration, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 20.3%.

The powerhouse Morgastanian economy, worth 13.5 trillion Stars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 67,634 Stars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 464,553 per year while the poor average 3,521, a ratio of 131 to 1.

The might of the entire Morgastanian Navy is focused on fifty bemused spear-throwing islanders, internet trolls are considered valiant supporters of the right to free speech, distrust of taps has many people bathing only with bottled mineral water, and all telephone traffic is monitored for 'national security reasons'. Crime is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Morgastan's national animal is the White Tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Morgastan is ranked 106,869^th in the world and 21^st in The Embassy for Most Corrupt Governments, with 10.78 kickbacks per hour.
