The Commonwealth of State of Moderi is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ritual sacrifices, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.367 billion State of Moderians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 38.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient State of Moderian economy, worth 54.8 trillion pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Uranium Mining, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 40,121 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Banana distribution among collective farm workers is an important topic in public discourse, metal detectors have been banned after a bottle cap caused a riot at the beach, the practice of capital punishment proves divisive, and fur coats have become the latest fashion trend. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. State of Moderi's national animal is the bison, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

State of Moderi is ranked 272,063^rd in the world and 8^th in United Right for Nicest Citizens, with 6.19 average smiles per day.
