“He's got a wheel and he loves it”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Republic of Moat Island is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its parental licensing program, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and pith helmet sales. The cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.82 billion Moat Islandians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 33.1%.

The all-consuming Moat Islandian economy, worth 876 trillion Euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 128,501 Euros, with the richest citizens earning 7.0 times as much as the poorest.

Moat Islandian watches list strained wrists as a common side effect, there's a bright dawn ahead for Moat Island, the country is rumored to be a Brancalandian puppet state, and citizens are being told that the greatness of a nation's power is the measure of its surrender. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Moat Island's national animal is the Hamster.

Moat Island is ranked 266,256^th in the world and 506^th in The grimy backyard of Bigej for Most Primitive, scoring -217.47 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
