The Mammon Machine of Mod is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its smutty television, ritual sacrifices, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.696 billion Modians enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The relatively small, liberal, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.5%.

The very strong Modian economy, worth 109 trillion bits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Soda Sales, and Retail. Average income is 64,309 bits, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 196,452 per year while the poor average 16,317, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Judges are all-powerful, military training in Mod emphasizes the tactical advantages of stabbing backs, the country is preparing for war, and the mood of raunchy movies is often ruined by the sound of babies crying. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Mod's national animal is the poor unfortunate soul, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Mod is ranked 170,780^th in the world and 22^nd in Spiritus for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 1,009.53 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
