The Dominion of Moon18 is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its strictly enforced bedtime, frequent executions, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 2.384 billion Moon18ians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, pro-business individuals keep a keen eye out for any attempt to organize such a thing, and ruthlessly crush it. Income tax is unheard of.

The very strong Moon18ian economy, worth 81.5 trillion cards a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Cheese Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 34,172 cards, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 116,640 per year while the poor average 7,367, a ratio of 15.8 to 1.

Politicians sweat as journalists scour internet archives for any mention of them, immigrants who don't like the taste of Moon18ian Turnip Chips are immediately deported, the contraband cigarette trade is lighting up across Moon18, and the national government has been dissolved by revolutionary insurgents. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Moon18's national animal is the album, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Moon18 is ranked 278,876^th in the world and 1,933^rd in TPFKAQ for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -70 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
