The Independent Territories of Neutraal moresnet is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Belgium with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, avowedly heterosexual populace, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 31.78 billion Neutraal moresnetians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kelmis. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 19.8%.
The frighteningly efficient Neutraal moresnetian economy, worth a remarkable 3,561 trillion franks a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 112,057 franks, with the richest citizens earning 5.5 times as much as the poorest.
Merry Birthday is a popular protest song despite the risk of fines and royalty dues, middle-aged metal fans quite enjoy being called "rebellious youths" by even older politicians, Neutraal moresnet's first free elections in recent memory have been successfully concluded, and stony-faced prosecutors play loud gangster rap music during court proceedings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force. Neutraal moresnet's national animal is the duitser, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Neutraal moresnet is ranked 68,637th in the world and 3,814th in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 70.28 law-abiding acts per hour.
