The Republic of Molies81 is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, avant-garde cinema, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.86 billion Molies81ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 77.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Molies81ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,220 trillion marks a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an amazing 208,294 marks, with the richest citizens earning 5.5 times as much as the poorest.

The government has returned all business to private ownership, prankster scientists legally change their names to silly pseudonyms before major discoveries, sex offenders find themselves cut off from the ability to repeat their crimes, and signs of extraterrestrial life are just foreign astronauts evading Molies81ian justice. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Molies81's national animal is the horse, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Molies81 is ranked 115,682nd in the world and 1,998th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 328.66661604212 days.
