“Mooning the crown of Atenvelt.”

The Barony of Twin Moons is a massive, devout nation, ruled by the Baron with an iron fist, and renowned for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 3.645 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 Education. The average income tax rate is 82%, and even higher for the wealthy. A healthy private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

Houses and businesses are bulldozed to make way for ever-expanding cemeteries, the Elf is a protected species, the government has been kicking out foreign corporations in a bid to grow enough food for the populace, and citizens are regularly found digging for treasure in their gardens. Crime is moderate. 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 25th in the region and 8,457th in the world for Highest Unemployment Rates.
