The Colony of Von Mor is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Von de Darkian with an iron fist, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, national health service, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 1.795 billion Von Morians 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 enormous, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vonkard. The average income tax rate is 95.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Von Morian economy, worth 280 trillion Vonkers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 156,128 Vonkers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

10-year-olds who struggle with integrating by parts are considered slow learners, government officials are held to the highest standard of morality, kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll, and all beauty contests have been banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Von Mor's national animal is the bison, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Von Mor is ranked 7,788th in the world and 203rd in the South Pacific for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 6,528.8 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
