“Mooning the crown of Atenvelt.”

The Barony of Twin Moons is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by the Baron with an iron fist, and notable for its ban on automobiles. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 4.381 billion are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Religion & Spirituality, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 100%. A robust private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

The arms industry is strictly regulated, cars are banned, torture is commonly used to extract information from suspected criminals, and students who refuse to pray are expelled from school. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Twin Moons's national animal is the Elf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the gold piece.

Twin Moons is ranked 126th in the region and 46,933rd in the world for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry.
