The Protectorate of Moonbase III is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its burgeoning falcon population. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 19.158 billion Moonbase IIIians enjoy frequent elections, which are uniformly corrupted by big-spending corporations buying politicians who best suit their interests.

The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15.3%.

The very strong Moonbase IIIian economy, worth 973 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Retail, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Gambling. Average income is 50,840 Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 155,306 per year while the poor average 12,899, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Moonbase III's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Moonbase III is ranked 183,073^rd in the world and 2^nd in The Red Concordat for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 357.09 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
