The Mana Source of Mox Emerald

“The Emerald cities shine forever”

The Mana Source of Mox Emerald is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by MrEmerald with an iron fist, and notable for its pith helmet sales, punitive income tax rates, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 31.503 billion Mox Emeraldians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of EmeraldCity. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 55.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Mox Emeraldian economy, worth a remarkable 4,346 trillion manas a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Gambling, Furniture Restoration, Retail, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 137,963 manas, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 601,939 per year while the poor average 19,981, a ratio of 30.1 to 1.

Urban high-volume mailers now receive their mail via chauffeur-driven limousines, political radicals send their manas to degree mills for a chance to serve in Parliament, skateboarding is punishable by heavy fines, and political talk shows often have children as guests whenever they need commentary on world religions. Crime is a problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Mox Emerald's national animal is the manabird, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Atheism.

Mox Emerald is ranked 211,101^st in the world and 102^nd in Nederland for Highest Drug Use, scoring 29 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
