The Republic of Molies18 is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, frequent executions, and feral children. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.196 billion Molies18ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 43.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Molies18ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,509 trillion marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 209,803 marks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 722,256 per year while the poor average 44,651, a ratio of 16.2 to 1.

People accuse the government of being in bed with Big Safety, every week is blindness awareness week, it is illegal to liberate slaves, and the streets are increasingly clogged with poverty-stricken beggars. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Molies18's national animal is the giraffe, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Molies18 is ranked 115,604th in the world and 1,977th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 328.68522019688 days.
