Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Principality of Moldavia is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 1.304 billion live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The medium-sized, liberal, pro-business government appears to have no policy direction whatsoever. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12%. A substantial private sector is dominated by the Automobile Manufacturing industry.

Crime is crippling, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Moldavia's national animal is the salmon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Taler.

Moldavia is ranked 2,406th in the West Pacific and 51,002nd in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -12 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
