The Pirate League of Mocanaqua is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Decimvs Barbarossa with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, enslaved workforce, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 28.93 billion Mocanaquans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The minute, corrupt government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Education, with Industry and Defense also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hades. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Mocanaquan economy, worth a remarkable 4,670 trillion Doubloons a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Gambling. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 161,425 Doubloons, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 892,510 per year while the poor average 14,723, a ratio of 60.6 to 1.

Sports journals are full of uplifting puff-pieces on professional boxers, toy versions of heroin paraphernalia let kids pretend to be their favourite TV characters, the Man in the Plastic Mask has been imprisoned in the Capital Penitentiary, and the price of takeaway food quadruples after 6pm. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Mocanaqua's national animal is the Tardigrade, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Militant Hedonism.

Mocanaqua is ranked 234,138^th in the world and 174^th in Texas for Most Pacifist, with 3.55 Cheeks Turned Per Day.
