The Confederacy of Moon Ocean is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Selenis Icosahedron with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, daily referendums, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 1.874 billion Moon Oceanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tranquillity. The average income tax rate is 96.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Moon Oceanian economy, worth 281 trillion deniers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 150,445 deniers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Whipping posts and lashes have been transferred to the Historical Museum of Moon Oceanian Embarrassments, earthquake sirens are a leading cause of hearing loss, economic planning is exalted as a human art form, and the government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Moon Ocean's national animal is the penguin, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Secularism.

Moon Ocean is ranked 1,742^nd in the world and 7^th in Starlight for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 9,641.95 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
