The Principality of Moritarchra is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates, deadly medical pandemics, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.321 billion Moritarchrans enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Infinite Desert. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.1%.

The all-consuming Moritarchran economy, worth 116 trillion francs a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 88,320 francs, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 794,110 per year while the poor average 1,231, a ratio of 645 to 1.

A milk bath costs more than bathing in money, freighter lifeboats have been replaced by state of the art marker buoys so divers can recover the cargo after they sink, sales of trenchcoats are on the rise, and industry tycoons rarely hide their misdeeds due to the government's habit of bailing them out. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Moritarchra's national animal is the porpoise.

Moritarchra is ranked 290,965^th in the world and 10,925^th in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 24.7 law-abiding acts per hour.
