The Queendom of Modoen is a large, cultured nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 145 million Modoenians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 27.9%.

The sizeable but inefficient Modoenian economy, worth 5.80 trillion sarrins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 39,991 sarrins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

You can't put down the nation's attitude to pet health, scientists who publish a non-reproducible result are tarred and feathered, citizens who plan overseas vacations are barred from running for political office, and elevator music has been replaced by thrash metal played at maximum volume. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Modoen's national animal is the Modoni jaguar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Modoen is ranked 150,324^th in the world and 1,351^st in the West Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 73.61 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
