Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Gestalten In-Group of Mollux is a massive, economically powerful nation, ruled by The Breaker with a fair hand, and remarkable for its parental licensing program. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 4.996 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

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.

Military spending is on the increase, students are known to arrive at school in their pyjamas, new safety regulations require all cars manufactured in Mollux to be bombproof, and highschool principals regularly send armed truancy patrols to drag problem students to school. 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 260th in Capitalist Paradise and 93,969th in the world for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring -234 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
