The Steppe Confederacy of Mongore is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Rinchen Khan with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, keen interest in outer space, and lack of airports. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 21.697 billion Mongols are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Spirituality, and Industry also on the agenda, while Social Policy is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Khalka. The average income tax rate is 83.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Mongorean economy, worth a remarkable 2,301 trillion Yams a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 106,087 Yams, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Organ donation is compulsory, school children are forced to sing the national anthem every morning, citizens live in superstitious fear of the mysterious glowing clouds that float over Mongore, and Harry Potter books are banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mongore's national animal is the Hawk, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Tengriism.

Mongore is ranked 124,001^st in the world and 4^th in The Savage Garden for Most Developed, scoring 57.93 on the Human Development Index.
