The Grand Duchy of Mood is a small, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 23 million Moodians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.1%.

The thriving Moodian economy, worth 1.22 trillion kroner a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Tourism. Average income is 52,899 kroner, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 187,246 per year while the poor average 10,790, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Mood's national animal is the Sea Lion, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

Mood is ranked 281,037^th in the world and 119^th in The Mood for Most Conservative, scoring 20 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
