The United Socialist States of Mowly is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its daily referendums, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.773 billion Mowlyians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mandlya City. The average income tax rate is 93.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Mowlyian economy, worth 318 trillion Lourries a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 114,868 Lourries, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Environmentalists are advocating slash-and-burn in the nation's forests, major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day, small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome, and party affiliation is just as irrelevant as campaign promises. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mowly's national animal is the Emu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mowly is ranked 281,223^rd in the world and 829^th in Concord for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -12.08 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
