The Federical Federations of Moderium is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by FFLTCINC TJT BAAS with an iron fist, and notable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, smutty television, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 31.535 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized 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 96.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Moderian economy, worth an astonishing 12,770 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 404,972 Prestiges, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The 'kind of scrawny' 500 meter hurdle is a popular event, juvenile delinquents are fitter than ever, fortified nursing homes are wracked with daily skirmishes, and the nation's counterintelligence budget is all up in the air. 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 294,147th in the world and 7th in Star Trek for Lowest Crime Rates, with 2.23 law-abiding acts per hour.
