“In 788, about a century after the Arab conquest of North Africa, a series of Moroccan Muslim dynasties began to rule in Morocco. In the 16th century, the Sa'adi monarchy, particularly under Ahmad AL-MANSUR (1578-1603), repelled foreign invaders and inaugurated a golden age. The Alaouite dynasty, to which the current Moroccan royal family belongs, dates from the 17th century. In 1860, Spain occupied northern Morocco and ushered in a half century of trade rivalry among European powers that saw Morocco's sovereignty steadily erode; in 1912, the French imposed a protectorate over the country. A protracted independence struggle with France ended successfully in 1956. The internationalized city of Tangier and most Spanish possessions were turned over to the new country that same year. Sultan MOHAMMED V, the current monarch's grandfather, organized the new state as a constitutional monarchy and in 1957 assumed the title of king. Although Morocco is not the UN-recognized Administering Power for the Western Sahara, it exercises de facto administrative control there. The UN assists with direct negotiations between Morocco and the Polisario Front, but the status of the territory remains unresolved. Gradual political reforms in the 1990s resulted in the establishment of a bicameral legislature, which first met in 1997. Morocco enjoys a moderately free press, but the government has taken action against journalists who they perceive to be challenging the monarchy, Islam, or the status of Western Sahara. Influenced by protests elsewhere in the region, in February 2011 thousands of Moroccans began weekly rallies in multiple cities across the country to demand greater democracy and end to government corruption. Overall the response of Moroccan security forces was subdued compared to the violence elsewhere in the region. King MOHAMMED VI responded quickly with a reform program that included a new constitution and early elections. The constitution was passed by popular referendum in July 2011; some new powers were extended to parliament and the prime minister, but ultimate authority remains in the hands of the monarch. In early elections in November 2012, the Justice and Development Party - a moderate Islamist party, won the largest number of seats, becoming the first Islamist party to lead the Moroccan Government. In January 2012, Morocco assumed a nonpermanent seat on the UN Security Council for the 2012-13 term.”
CIA's The World Factbook (2013)9
“Morocco is an exotic gateway to Africa; its mountains, desert and coast are populated by Berbers and nomads, and its ancient medina lanes lead to souqs and riads. From Saharan dunes to the peaks of the High Atlas, Morocco could have been tailor-made for travellers. Lyrical landscapes carpet this sublime slice of North Africa like the richly coloured and patterned rugs you´ll lust after in the souqs. The mountains offer simple, breathtaking pleasures: night skies glistening in the thin air, or views over a fluffy cloudbank. On lower ground there are rugged coastlines, waterfalls and caves in forested hills, and the mighty desert. The varied terrain may inform your dreams, but it shapes the very lives of Morocco´s Berbers, Arabs and Saharawis.
The trick to travelling in Morocco is to leave enough time to watch the world go by with the locals when there´s so much else to fit in: hiking up North Africa´s highest peak, camel trekking, shopping in the souqs, getting lost in the medina, and sweating in the hammam. Between the activities, you can sleep in the famous riads, relax on panoramic terraces and grand squares, and mop up tajines flavoured with saffron and argan.”

The United Nations produces an annual Human Development Report which includes the Human Development Index. The factors taken into account include life expectancy, education and schooling and Gross National Income (GNI) amongst many others..
The Social and Moral Development Index concentrates on moral issues and human rights, violence, public health, equality, tolerance, freedom and effectiveness in climate change mitigation and environmentalism, and on some technological issues. A country scores higher for achieving well in those areas, and for sustaining that achievement in the long term. Those countries towards the top of this index can truly said to be setting good examples and leading humankind onwards into a bright, humane, and free future. See: Which are the Best Countries in the World? The Social and Moral Development Index.

Population:
Morocco's population is predicted to rise to 37.5 million by 2030. This country has a fertility rate of 2.20. The fertility rate is, in simple terms, the average amount of children that each woman has. The higher the figure, the quicker the population is growing, although, to calculate the rate you also need to take into account morbidity, i.e., the rate at which people die. If people live healthy and long lives and morbidity is low, then, 2.0 approximates to the replacement rate, which would keep the population stable. If all countries had such a fertility rate, population growth would end. The actual replacement rate in most developed countries is around 2.1.Population (2018)2 | ||

Morocco is very poor at ensuring human rights and freedom compared to the rest of the world, and it has cultural issues when it comes to tolerance and equality. Morocco does better than average for speed of uptake of HR treaties20 and in its nominal commitment to Human Rights21. However Morocco performs less well in most areas. It does worse than average in the rate of gender bias (from 7 indicators)22 (yet still the lowest in Africa), commentary in Human Rights Watch reports23 (still high for Africa), opposing gender inequality24 (still low for Africa), supporting personal, civil & economic freedoms25, supporting press freedom26 and in freethought27 (one of the worst in Africa). And finally, it falls into the worst-performing 20 for its success in fighting anti-semitic prejudice28 (one of the highest in Africa) and in LGBT equality29 (amongst the lowest in Africa). Morocco occasionally takes to beating and repressing protestors30. Free speech is limited for two inappropriate reasons: (1) to protect the interests of the Moroccan leaders and interests (i.e. insulting the king, or criticizing Morocco's claim over Western Sahara), and (2) religious concepts (Islam). Homosexuality is outlawed, both entrenching and reflecting cultural prejudice and intolerance about other people's private lives30. Organisations such as Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International are hindered and effectively banned from operating30.

The countries with the best overall approach to public health, in terms of both public policy and individual lifestyle choices, are Monaco, Hong Kong and The Maldives31. These countries are worth emulating. And, although often through no fault of the average citizen, the worst countries are The Marshall Islands, S. Sudan and Palau31.
The data sets used to calculate points for each country are its average life expectancy, its alcohol consumption rate, its fertility rate, its smoking rate, its suicide rate, its food aid and health contributions and WHO compliance, the prevalence of overweight adults, its adolescent birth rate and its immunizations take-up. The regions with the best average results per country are Scandinavia, Asia and The Mediterranean31, whereas the worst are Micronesia, Australasia and Africa31.

Health:
Morocco does relatively well in encouraging good health, compared to many other countries. Morocco comes in the best 20 in its alcohol consumption rate33. It does better than average for its immunizations take-up34 (one of the best in Africa), its food aid and health contributions and WHO compliance35 (one of the best in Africa), its average life expectancy11 (one of the best in Africa), its fertility rate14 and in its adolescent birth rate24. Morocco does not succeed in everything, however. Morocco does worse than average in its smoking rate36. The number of overweight adults has increased by 14% during the last 40 years.Life Expectancy (2021)11 | ||

Data from the Pew Forum, a professional polling outfit, states that in 2010 the religious makeup of this country was as follows in the table below62:
Christian | 0.1% |
Muslim | 99% |
Hindu | 0.1% |
Buddhist | 0.1% |
Folk Religion | 0.1% |
Jew | 0.1% |
Unaffiliated | 0.1% |
The CIA World Factbook has slightly different data, and states: Muslim 99% (official), Christian 1%, Jewish about 6,00063.
Freedom of Religion and Belief: Morocco is better at protecting Islam than human rights, and makes "insulting Islam" a criminal offence30.
