The Dominion of Moisnite is a small, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, zero percent divorce rate, and suspicion of poets. The hard-working, devout population of 40 million Moistinians 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 Spirituality, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 36.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Moisnitean economy, worth 1.75 trillion moinds a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 43,665 moinds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Promising seven years of bad luck leads to seven years of community service, streakers swamp all public events in order to bare it all, there's no such thing as bad publicity, and the true length of the coastline of Moisnite may never be measured. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Moisnite's national animal is the owl, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Moisnite is ranked 75,720^th in the world and 58^th in Philosophers for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 102.71 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
