The Republic of Molies8 is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its vat-grown people, ubiquitous missile silos, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.181 billion Molies8ians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 72.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Molies8ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,686 trillion francs a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 234,818 francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The weather report is the prisoners' favourite programme, drug lords often avoid prison time by teaching "chemistry" classes to underprivileged youth, no-one can foil the ambitions of Big Aluminium, and the nation's children are known for being even more apathetic and cynical than their parents. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Molies8's national animal is the emu, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Molies8 is ranked 115,607th in the world and 2,093rd in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 328.6871507512 days.
