The Republic of Maurdea is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Jiro Alvatreza with a fair hand, and renowned for its smutty television, zero percent divorce rate, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 1.751 billion Maurdeans 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 Administration, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Keyro. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 28.1%.

The thriving Maurdean economy, worth 166 trillion Maurdes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 94,947 Maurdes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 284,416 per year while the poor average 24,773, a ratio of 11.5 to 1.

The military struggles with recruitment, agricultural employees work for peanuts, 'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Maurdea's radio stations, and baby boys who pick up pink crayons are sent to a psychiatric ward. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Maurdea's national animal is the White Tailed Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Maurdea is ranked 112,185^th in the world and 568^th in Europeia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 64.44 law-abiding acts per hour.
