The Empire of Moonlize is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service and prohibition of alcohol. The compassionate, democratic population of 726 million Moonlizeans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 31.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Moonlizean economy, worth 29.5 trillion moon dusts a year, is quite specialized and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Cheese Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 40,570 moon dusts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

CEOs can't hear the term 'Fire Sale' without bursting into tears, legal contracts aren't worth the paper they're written on, elderly citizens regularly buy posh multimillion-moon dust mansions, and violently opinionated speakers can be heard preaching their hateful views on every street corner. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Moonlize's national animal is the fluffy cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Moonlize is ranked 83,457^th in the world and 11^th in OrangeJuice for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 2,951.38 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
