The Kingdom of Mordant is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by EK with an iron fist, and remarkable for its flagrant waste-dumping, disturbing lack of elderly people, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 8.662 billion Mordantians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Industry also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Desoleum. The average income tax rate is 81.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Mordantian economy, worth a remarkable 2,878 trillion Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 332,283 Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Colonial citizens are forced to sing the praise of the "Great Mordantian Liberator", twins move across the country to avoid being accused of the other's crimes, women who display their ankles are shunned by society, and the navy is chrome-plating its battleships to prevent rust. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mordant's national animal is the Arcanadont, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Mordant is ranked 24,849th in the world and 1,360th in Lazarus for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,953.94 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
