The Republic of Morgul Valley is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates, triple-decker prams, and complete lack of public education. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.757 billion Morgul Valleyians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized individuals juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Public Transport. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Morgul Valleyian economy, worth a remarkable 1,868 trillion currencies a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Uranium Mining, and Gambling. Average income is an amazing 240,888 currencies, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,249,571 per year while the poor average 2,252, a ratio of 998 to 1.

Fraternities are notorious for drunken hooliganism, homeless people are frequently charged with trespassing on public property, the controversial show 'Who Wants to be an Immigrant?' has become wildly popular, and companies are literally blowing their competition out of the water. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Morgul Valley's national animal is the animal, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Morgul Valley is ranked 314,938^th in the world and 51^st in Vickenian experiment incubator for Most Patriotic, with 0.3 flags saluted per person per day.
