The Most Serene Republic of Morrises is a very large, cultured nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 251 million Morrisesians 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 relatively small, moralistic government prioritizes Education, with Defense, Spirituality, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Welfare isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 12.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Morrisesian economy, worth 12.9 trillion Raches a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Cheese Exports, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 51,197 Raches, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Internet ads promising "hot singles in your area" are even less accurate than they used to be, seven-year-olds debate for weeks on the merits of the Oxford comma, invasive drug testing is now performed at elementary school sports days, and hiding wrinkles with make-up is illegal. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Morrises's national animal is the Grizzly Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Morrises is ranked 249,987^th in the world and 169^th in Benigtopia for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 40.78 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
