Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Commonwealth of Momagognonusos is a massive, genial nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 3.009 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Social Welfare, although Education and the Environment are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Momagognonusos City. The average income tax rate is 69%, and even higher for the wealthy. A substantial private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

The nation is constantly threatened with invasion but at least homosexuality in the military isn't a problem, the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, scientists recently cloned the long-extinct feather-bellied Tiger, and Momagognonusos has one of the largest offshore wind farms in the world. Crime is totally unknown. Momagognonusos's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Pancakes.

Momagognonusos is ranked 109th in New York and 90,021st in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -22 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
