The Equal Opportunity Nation of Moftan is a gargantuan, genial nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 14.727 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of the Environment, Education, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Moftan City. The average income tax rate is 100%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

The mining industry has taken a hit from tighter environmental regulations, criminals are put to death while cuddling their favourite teddy bear, tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, and condemned prisoners spend hours a day sitting in lotus position looking perplexed. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Moftan's national animal is the emu, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the mofian.

Moftan is ranked 2nd in Balder and 103rd in the world for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 610 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
