The Seekers of Other Life Forms of Moterto is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Supreme Magnificent Overlord Menoetius with an even hand, and remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, avowedly heterosexual populace, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 20.914 billion Motertoans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of HZ. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 64.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Motertoan economy, worth a remarkable 3,358 trillion Denarii a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 160,567 Denarii, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

The government is under the thumb of countless special interests, high school bands practice by moonlight, the fattest folk in Moterto look to be the happiest ones, and Supreme Magnificent Overlord Menoetius's new door-knocking campaign has the sweet taste of success. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Moterto's national animal is the Spider, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Astrology.

Moterto is ranked 227,773^rd in the world and 6^th in War Weary for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -4.34 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
