The Kingdom of Mognod

“The Numinous Sublime”

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

The Kingdom of Mognod is a very large, orderly nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 134 million Mognodites 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 large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Law & Order, with Public Transport, Healthcare, and Environment also on the agenda, while Welfare and Administration aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 40.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The basket case Mognoditian economy, worth 655 billion rocks 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 large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Furniture Restoration, Soda Sales, and Information Technology. 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 4,888 rocks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Kids are exceptionally good at digging holes, patriotic citizens simply tend to applaud rather than sing the nation's praises, homeless people are periodically found dead upon altars to assorted deities, and on hunt days the unpleasant peasant runs in lieu of the pheasant. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Mognod's national animal is the auroch.

Mognod is ranked 222,012^th in the world and 3,927^th in The North Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 35.22 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
