The Useless Moth of Moth-chan is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, ubiquitous missile silos, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 11.47 billion Moth-chanians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 74.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Moth-chanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,224 trillion marks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 106,756 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

A burger chain recently changed its name to Mack Donaldz for legal reasons, diplomatic fallout tends to be much more dangerous than radioactive fallout, artists regularly face criminal charges and art-burning parties are common, and Leader's peyote-induced "let's all just be friends" speech is trending world-wide. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Moth-chan's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Moth-chan is ranked 86,546^th in the world and 1^st in Hiperboreea for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 110.59 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
