The Valley Isle of Mowey is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by The Big Cheeze with an iron fist, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, national health service, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 20.33 billion Moweses 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kahuaina. The average income tax rate is 84.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Moweyian economy, worth a remarkable 2,859 trillion pollens a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 140,672 pollens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Mowey's airwaves are dominated by corporate-backed commercial radio, only the richest get to see out of their windows, foreign militaries are taking a particular interest in the nation's abandoned borders and cities, and foreign investment has dropped to a trickle after laws were passed preventing investors from taking their earnings abroad. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mowey's national animal is the GMO corn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Violetism.

Mowey is ranked 46,760th in the world and 2nd in Pacific Ocean for Lowest Crime Rates, with 75.16 law-abiding acts per hour.
