The Republic of Molies96 is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, soft-spoken computers, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.007 billion Molies96ians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 68.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Molies96ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,152 trillion rupees a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 191,941 rupees, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Ships are encouraged to deliberately run aground onto Molies96ian beaches, Leader's media campaigns take a hiatus around exam week, Leader's perky ego is the talk of the town, and foreigners with shady pasts are fleeing the country. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Molies96's national animal is the cow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Molies96 is ranked 258,237th in the world and 9,536th in Osiris for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -7.72 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
