The Republic of Molies8 is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its enslaved workforce, keen interest in outer space, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.398 billion Molies8ians 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 71.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Molies8ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,733 trillion francs a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 234,332 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Giggling elementary school newspaper reporters want to know why Leader is a silly poophead, the nation's prisons are touted as the best weight loss programs money can't buy, the urinary fragrance of seedier establishments is thankfully hidden by the smell of stale smoke, and citizens must have a license to operate a computer. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Molies8's national animal is the emu, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Molies8 is ranked 8,011^th in the world and 358^th in Lazarus for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 10,431.45 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
