The Republic of Molies89 is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, ban on automobiles, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.075 billion Molies89ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 93.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Molies89ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,480 trillion baht a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 243,674 baht, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens are expected to be proficient in at least five languages, the new Refuse Hills housing development is under construction, the latest electric jet fighter has almost enough battery charge to reach cruising altitude -- provided you don't use the radar, and the overhead luggage compartment is often full. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Molies89's national animal is the sheep, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Molies89 is ranked 42,709^th in the world and 2,791^st in Lazarus for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 168.65 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
