The Republic of The Full Moon is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 1.217 billion Full Moonians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Empty Moon Base. The average income tax rate is 76.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Full Moonian economy, worth 146 trillion Loves a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 120,035 Loves, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government's giant servers are often used as a tourist trap, asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes, the aims of top-secret Full Moonian science projects revolve around designing the perfect robot woman, and former public radio talk pundits are being deployed to front line war zones. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Full Moon's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Full Moon is ranked 283,690^th in the world and 1,312^th in Europe for Most Primitive, scoring -404.05 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
