Location: Capitalist Paradise

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Gestalten In-Group of Mollux is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by The Breaker with a fair hand, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 5.621 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, liberal individuals is effectively ruled by the Department of Education, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Social Equality receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Elysium. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology industry, followed by Book Publishing and Tourism.

The death penalty has been reintroduced, new safety regulations require all cars manufactured in Mollux to be bombproof, mining is the nation's most dangerous occupation, and invading armies are given hard glares for their cheek. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mollux's national animal is the Chimera, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Shiny.

Mollux is ranked 32nd in Capitalist Paradise and 1,454th in the world for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 9 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
