The Republic of The Black Moths is a huge, pleasant nation, renowned for its burgeoning Moth population. The hard-working population of 443 million Black Mothsians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 20.9%.

The Black Mothsian economy, worth 18.4 trillion Moths a year, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Trout Farming, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 41,551 Moths, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Black Moths's national animal is the Moth.

The Black Moths is ranked 236,294^th in the world and 4,297^th in Artificial Solar System for Most Cultured, scoring 64 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
