The Nomadic Peoples of Moaning Lisa is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Moll Flanders with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, unlimited-speed roads, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cheerful population of 7.774 billion Moaning Lisans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fanny Hill. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Moaning Lisan economy, worth a remarkable 1,808 trillion Vouchers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an amazing 232,622 Vouchers, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,032,907 per year while the poor average 32,662, a ratio of 31.6 to 1.

Judges are all-powerful, large sections of Moaning Lisa have been named national reserves to protect the native tribes living there, designer truncheons are the latest law enforcement fashion craze, and stealing from a clothesline is a serious offence. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Moaning Lisa's national animal is the Louse, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Meretriciousness.

Moaning Lisa is ranked 81,526th in the world and 461st in the West Pacific for Most Stationary, with 593.3061827838 days.
