The Federical Federations of Moderium is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by FFLTCINC TJT BAAS with an iron fist, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, anti-smoking policies, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 32.803 billion Moderians 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.

The relatively small, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Babylon 4. The average income tax rate is 60.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Moderian economy, worth an astonishing 10,946 trillion Prestiges a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 333,699 Prestiges, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cotton candy made from genuine cotton cellulose doesn't quite satisfy, the nation's school children are fluent in Klingon but lack basic mathematical skills, lovesick people are told 'it's not them, it's you', and FFLTCINC TJT BAAS's reputation is hard as nails. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Moderium's national animal is the Fearleam, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Modding.

Moderium is ranked 91,718th in the world and 5th in Star Trek for Most Authoritarian, with 994.26 milliStalins.
