The Carefully Hidden Moonbase of Gnomewatchers is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Gnomad with an iron fist, and remarkable for its fear of technology, pith helmet sales, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 22.297 billion Gnomes are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gnomeria. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 73.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Gnomeian economy, worth a remarkable 1,966 trillion crowns a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 88,181 crowns, with the richest citizens earning 9.6 times as much as the poorest.

Owning a fishing rod can cause you to be subject to military questioning, farmers are complaining that the buzzing and the sparks from the nearby MagRail are blighting their crops, the government is pouring funds into the nation's welfare system, and urbanites are banned from bucolic settings for safety concerns. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gnomewatchers's national animal is the garden gnome, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Gnomewatchers is ranked 14,222^nd in the world and 512^th in The North Pacific for Most Corrupt Governments, with 67.9 Kickbacks Per Hour.
