The State Demarchy of Morongia is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by State Lord with an iron fist, and notable for its strictly enforced bedtime, ubiquitous missile silos, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 9.114 billion Morongians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of State-controlled Zone. The average income tax rate is 43.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Morongian economy, worth a remarkable 1,767 trillion votes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Soda Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 193,977 votes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens are frequently held up at gunpoint by their local pizza delivery boys, community theaters are known for their bawdy renditions of 'Springtime for State Lord', only AIs know why the nation is rapidly increasing its semiconductor stockpile, and fancy dress parties are raided by military police for new recruits. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Morongia's national animal is the camel, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Statism.

Morongia is ranked 194,943rd in the world and 4,779th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 54.05563901548 days.
