The Kingdom of Mordant is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by EK with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, anti-smoking policies, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 8.702 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, although Law & Order, Education, and Industry are also considered important, while Welfare and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Desoleum. The average income tax rate is 81.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Mordantian economy, worth a remarkable 2,887 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 331,872 Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Women who display their ankles are shunned by society, the navy is chrome-plating its battleships to prevent rust, lending money has become a major liability, and medical experts advise that those claiming to be medical experts are probably fraudsters. 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 330,617^th in the world and 17,578^th in Lazarus for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring -23.24 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
