The Moth Cult Empire of Libitrius is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, enslaved workforce, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 628 million Moths are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tinea. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 47.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Mothuisian economy, worth 68.0 trillion Wings a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 108,253 Wings, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 344,317 per year while the poor average 25,911, a ratio of 13.3 to 1.

Moth populations thrive as dogs are slaughtered in the millions, a rusted hulk in Tinea harbour has been voted the worst eyesore in Union of Ivory, soylent products are an expensive commodity due to a lack of volunteers, and internet moderators work overtime to remove memes comparing Leader to cartoon bears. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Libitrius's national animal is the moth, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Libitrius is ranked 269,639^th in the world and 11^th in Union of Ivory for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -9 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
