The Austronesian Gypsies of Moken Sea Peoples is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Poseidon with a fair hand, and remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, flagrant waste-dumping, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 19.817 billion Moken Sea Peoplesians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mergui Archipelago. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 82.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Moken Sea Peoplesian economy, worth a remarkable 5,365 trillion Shared Gifts a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Retail, Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 270,763 Shared Gifts, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 916,395 per year while the poor average 59,121, a ratio of 15.5 to 1.

Poseidon can't hear a thing when the unwashed masses throw rocks at the new state limousine, the best way to be heard in politics is to speak softly and carry a big comedy prop, all astronauts are hot twenty-something models selected because they have 'the right stuff', and the media have begun calling the government treasury "Poseidon's stash". Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Moken Sea Peoples's national animal is the Puffer Fish, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Buddhism.

Moken Sea Peoples is ranked 4,719th in the world and 156th in NationStates for Most Stationary, with 3,320.66454144 days.
