The Kingdom of East Moreland is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by King David III with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 21.226 billion East Morelandians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 15.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming East Morelandian economy, worth a remarkable 2,605 trillion Moreland Pounds a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 122,733 Moreland Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's once beautiful countryside have turned brown as farmers spray potent pesticides, relations with Dàguó have warmed from frosty to chilly, voodoo economists believe that feeding criminals to volcanoes will bring untold riches to East Moreland, and failed genetic experiments wreak havoc as they roam the countryside. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. East Moreland's national animal is the Honey Badger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Cult of Helus.

East Moreland is ranked 274,992^nd in the world and 84^th in Independent Order for Safest, scoring 7.37 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
