The Republic of Molies88 is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its pith helmet sales, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.047 billion Molies88ians 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 Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 90.0%.
The frighteningly efficient Molies88ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,329 trillion baht a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 219,818 baht, with the richest citizens earning 6.9 times as much as the poorest.
A good deed is rewarded with a thank you note attached to a deportation order, freighter lifeboats have been replaced by state of the art marker buoys so divers can recover the cargo after they sink, the nation's interest in space is at an all-time high while interest in saving the planet is at an all-time low, and the transit system is throwing poor people under the bus. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Molies88's national animal is the fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Molies88 is ranked 291,969th in the world and 11,260th in Balder for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -15.71 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
