The Republic of Molies65 is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, ban on automobiles, and triple-decker prams. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.007 billion Molies65ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 72.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Molies65ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,311 trillion guilders a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Soda Sales, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 218,283 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.
Building a phallus out of Minecraft blocks counts as indecent exposure, adult magazines are having a sales resurgence as internet anonymity disappears, the volume of paperwork used to complete a single environmental assessment defeats the purpose, and the overhead luggage compartment is often full. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Molies65's national animal is the squirrel, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Molies65 is ranked 290,719th in the world and 11,181st in Balder for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -14.59 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
