The Republic of Mormont Keep is a titanic, efficient nation, remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, frequent executions, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed population of 21.961 billion Mormont Keepians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 26.2%.

The very strong Mormont Keepian economy, worth a remarkable 1,764 trillion $$s a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 80,349 $$s, with the richest citizens earning 7.8 times as much as the poorest.

Colonists who were promised new lands find only war-torn devastation, prankster scientists legally change their names to silly pseudonyms before major discoveries, political clichés like "band-aid solutions" and "adrenaline shots to the economy" are headed for the dumpster, and seasonal hay-fever sufferers are attending government drug counselling sessions to get free doughnuts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mormont Keep's national animal is the Death's-head Hawkmoth, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Mormont Keep is ranked 37,703^rd in the world and 1^st in Bear Island for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 59,297.85 Standard Monetary Units.
