The Realm of The Mood is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Sovereign with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, smutty television, and zero percent divorce rate. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 3.203 billion Moodians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Marstal. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 32.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Moodian economy, worth 309 trillion kroner a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 96,473 kroner, with the richest citizens earning 8.9 times as much as the poorest.

Artists are renowned for their ability to make art pieces out of thin air, Sovereign has just been declared ruler of The Mood in an international press conference, exorbitant spending on icebreakers breaks the ice at every budget meeting, and Lutheranism has been named as The Mood's national religion. Crime is totally unknown. The Mood's national animal is the Sea Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Lutheranism.

The Mood is ranked 45,595^th in the world and 4^th in The Mood for Most Developed, scoring 78.36 on the Human Development Index.
