The Commonwealth of Greater Morvonia is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Johnston Fitzwarren with an iron fist, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, keen interest in outer space, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 9.115 billion Greater Morvonians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Constitution. The average income tax rate is 59.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Greater Morvonian economy, worth 826 trillion Morvonian Pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 90,665 Morvonian Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Political dissidents are cut off from essential services, "Mad Max: Returning Again to Barrydrome" is this year's unexpected summer blockbuster, prisoners due for execution often use their final statement to complain about soggy bread rolls, and roosters that herald the rising sun are immediately sent to the slaughterhouse. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Greater Morvonia's national animal is the Bothrops morvoniae, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is None.

Greater Morvonia is ranked 274,138th in the world and 176th in Forest for Fattest Citizens, with 6.48 Obesity Rate.
