The Republic of The Full Moon is a massive, genial nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, anti-smoking policies, and compulsory military service. The compassionate population of 2.496 billion Full Moonians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Empty Moon Base. The average income tax rate is 75.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Full Moonian economy, worth 330 trillion Loves a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 132,412 Loves, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The seats at the back of the parliament are reserved for indigenous ministers, political talk shows often have children as guests whenever they need commentary on world religions, strict term limits have been applied to all elected offices, and stranded mountaineers can watch livestreamed footage of their rescues. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Full Moon's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Full Moon is ranked 210,659^th in the world and 1,063^rd in Europe for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 278.57 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
