The Nice of Molies69 is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Nice with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.943 billion Nice are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nice. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 81.2%.
The frighteningly efficient Nice economy, worth a remarkable 1,262 trillion Nices a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 212,480 Nices, with the richest citizens earning 6.4 times as much as the poorest.
Every week is blindness awareness week, studio executives abandon tragic stories of star-crossed lovers because "it's been done", military pilots spend more time scraping feathers off their engines than flying their aircraft, and police detectives carry phrenology calipers as part of their standard kit. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Molies69's national animal is the Nice, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Nice.
Molies69 is ranked 36,763rd in the world and 2,352nd in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 79.12 law-abiding acts per hour.
