The Republic of Molies68 is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, otherworldly petting zoo, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 5.861 billion Molies68ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 58.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Molies68ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,019 trillion guilders 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. 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 impressive 174,016 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Prisoners due for execution often use their final statement to complain about soggy bread rolls, children's daycare starts at the crack of dawn, a National Academy regulates grammar and usage, and a large concrete wall is being built around the country's borders. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Molies68's national animal is the porpoise, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Molies68 is ranked 115,654th in the world and 2,121st in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 328.6726715938 days.
