The Mana Source of Mox Pearl is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by MrPearl with an iron fist, and notable for its public floggings, aversion to nipples, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 35.357 billion Mox Pearlians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of PearlCity. The average income tax rate is 95.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Mox Pearlian economy, worth a remarkable 5,101 trillion manas a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 144,293 manas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Children are often observed making 'sand angels' in bunkers, airport users are more worried about radiation than terrorism, what goes down must come up, and war criminals are given full state funerals. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mox Pearl's national animal is the manabird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Atheism.

Mox Pearl is ranked 127,823rd in the world and 61st in Nederland for Safest, scoring 69.59 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
