The Spotted Appaloosas of Mottlevania is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Spot with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, public floggings, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 34.569 billion Mottlevanians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dapple. The average income tax rate is 63.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Mottlevanian economy, worth a remarkable 3,290 trillion Spots a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 95,174 Spots, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government believes there is no problem that raising taxes won't fix, citizens seem fixated on 105m x 45m rectangles, serial killers are the country's biggest import, and prenuptial contracts have replaced diamond rings in marriage proposals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mottlevania's national animal is the Appaloosa, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Mottlevania is ranked 21,745^th in the world and 2^nd in Q102 for Most Corrupt Governments, with 94.37 kickbacks per hour.
