The Commonwealth of Moonstopia is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Mit Aia with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, keen interest in outer space, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.849 billion Moonstopians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of São Gonçalo. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 69.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Moonstopian economy, worth 375 trillion Doubloons a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 131,879 Doubloons, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 705,821 per year while the poor average 12,903, a ratio of 54.7 to 1.

Government officials say that if you close your eyes and wish really hard the budget deficit will go away, the mark of a good ruler is the largeness of his chin, the state-controlled media salutes those about to spy, and pillows outnumber picket signs at most workers rallies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Moonstopia's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

Moonstopia is ranked 137,809^th in the world and 7,671^st in Balder for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,300.22 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
