The New Kingdom of Moltian is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Sir Matrial III with an iron fist, and notable for its aversion to nipples, strictly enforced bedtime, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.461 billion Moltianians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Concord. The average income tax rate is 49.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Moltianian economy, worth 264 trillion Hydebucks a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 107,483 Hydebucks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

City budgets are spent entirely on supporting the town royalty, truncheon-mounted cameras record the beating of criminals in dynamic HD detail, murder rates are on the rise as the popularity of soylent products grows, and no suburban lawn is complete without barbed wire and landmines. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Moltian's national animal is the Imperial eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Moltian is ranked 259,340^th in the world and 4,810^th in the South Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 43.04 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
