The Mana Source of Mox Sapphire is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by MrSapphire with an iron fist, and notable for its teetotalling pirates, zero percent divorce rate, and digital currency. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 35.372 billion Mox Sapphireans 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of SapphireCity. The average income tax rate is 71.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Mox Sapphirean economy, worth a remarkable 5,286 trillion manas 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, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, Soda Sales, and Uranium Mining. 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 149,459 manas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Convicted criminals are given free limo rides to jail, the fastest growing demographic of porn viewership is twelve to seventeen, MrSapphire spends weekends doing the laundry of foreign leaders, and assault rifles sized for 7-year-olds are a frighteningly popular export. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mox Sapphire's national animal is the manabird, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Atheism.

Mox Sapphire is ranked 90,739th in the world and 111th in Nederland for Lowest Crime Rates, with 67.07 law-abiding acts per hour.
