The Dominion of Moon40 is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 2.432 billion Moon40ians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 42.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Moon40ian economy, worth 53.5 trillion cards a year, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 21,983 cards, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cold medicines curiously become cheaper when government officials sneeze, everyone wants to be on the guest list for diplomatic parties, no suburban lawn is complete without barbed wire and landmines, and teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Moon40's national animal is the album, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Moon40 is ranked 140,704^th in the world and 551^st in TPFKAQ for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 69.42 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
