The Mountain Holler Full of Moonshiners is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Marvin Sutton with an iron fist, and notable for its closed borders, barren, inhospitable landscape, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 14.767 billion Moonshiners are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 66.3%.

The very strong Moonshinersian economy, worth a remarkable 1,098 trillion quarts a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 74,399 quarts, with the richest citizens earning 8.9 times as much as the poorest.

Whales in captivity live in little more than glorified goldfish bowls, every spring railroad foundations erode to reveal human remains, farmers are struggling to keep up with demand for local produce, and cutting-edge missile systems are being retrofitted to twin-prop air force biplanes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Moonshiners's national animal is the wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Drinkin'.

Moonshiners is ranked 68,187^th in the world and 5^th in Edlhus for Most Patriotic, with 20.66 flags saluted per person per day.
