The Empire of Moneycentral is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, ubiquitous missile silos, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 332 million Moneycentralians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 3.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Moneycentralian economy, worth 39.9 trillion Monies a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 120,141 Monies, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

Homeowners on prime real estate have been seen dodging giant bulldozers with cartoon characters painted on them, tampons are used as cheap fishing bobbers, the government response to disaster victims starving for bread is "let them eat stale cake", and the roar of the Niagara 3000 mega-loo can be heard several blocks away. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Moneycentral's national animal is the Dollar Bill, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Moneycentral is ranked 237,600^th in the world and 40^th in Byzantion for Largest Populations, with 332 million capita.
