The Kingdom of Eastern Moria is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by King Aragorn II with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, digital currency, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 2.86 billion Eastern Morians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The medium-sized, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Industry, Education, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Social Policy and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sindarian. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 72.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Eastern Morian economy, worth 865 trillion White Gems a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 302,783 White Gems, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,762,647 per year while the poor average 3,676, a ratio of 751 to 1.

Drivers are told they're not staring at mobile phone screens enough, citizens are regularly arrested in queues for 'loitering', young soldiers are shocked to discover there are no 'safe spaces' on a battlefield, and the nation won three wars against Brancaland this weekend. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eastern Moria's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Alternate Universe Theory.

Eastern Moria is ranked 4,544th in the world and 6th in The Wellspring for Most Patriotic, with 86.09 flags saluted per person per day.
