The Matriarchy of Moon Beams is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, renowned for its compulsory vegetarianism, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 8.997 billion Moon Beamsians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 66.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Moon Beamsian economy, worth 279 trillion Rocks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Average income is 31,083 Rocks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tours to see the 'wild men of the mountains' are popular with tourists from the big cities, prison visits increase substantially during election years, a bill to outlaw math homework has been submitted, and male politicians lose their jobs for staring too long at their female counterparts. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Moon Beams's national animal is the Rook, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Moon Beams is ranked 105,453^rd in the world and 2^nd in Spirited Away for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 1,856.55 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
