The Confederacy of Mobian Islands is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 253 million Mobians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.
The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 39.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but underdeveloped Mobian economy, worth 10.8 trillion Rings a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Pizza Delivery, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 42,756 Rings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The face of Leader is a permanent feature of the Mobian Islands City skyline, lifeguards are more concerned with watching for sharks than struggling swimmers, young girls aren't having a ball but they are enjoying themselves, and internet ads promising "hot singles in your area" are even less accurate than they used to be. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Mobian Islands's national animal is the Hedgehog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Mobian Islands is ranked 63,068th in the world and 11th in Planet Mobius for Highest Food Quality, scoring 30.08 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
