The Republic of Mondlicht is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 532 million Mondlichtians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 22.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Mondlichtian economy, worth 21.0 trillion rubles a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 39,547 rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Internet searches for the inventor of the three-wheeled steam-powered Mondlichtian weed picker are way up, the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, organ donation is compulsory, and citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mondlicht's national animal is the emu.

Mondlicht is ranked 142,549^th in the world and 1,299^th in Remembrance for Most Corrupt Governments, with 4.04 kickbacks per hour.
