The Matriarchy of Moon Beams is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The democratic population of 3.772 billion Moon Beamsians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 58.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Moon Beamsian economy, worth 143 trillion Rocks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 38,050 Rocks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The tragedy of the commons is being tested nationwide but everyone says it's somebody else's problem, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, and artists from across the nation compete to renovate the restrooms of old government buildings. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Moon Beams's national animal is the Rook, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Moon Beams is ranked 252,341^st in the world and 3^rd in Kronos for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 15,905.25 Standard Monetary Units.
