The Empiric Council of Moooncraft is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Council of 9 with an even hand, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, free-roaming dinosaurs, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed population of 4.508 billion Mooncraftians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tokyo. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12.0%.

The all-consuming Moooncraftian economy, worth 483 trillion Crafts a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 107,164 Crafts, with the richest citizens earning 5.5 times as much as the poorest.

Social networking sites have discussion groups devoted to planning terrorist attacks, citizens have to dodge their neighbors' drones while getting the morning paper, clergy who start talking about politics are forced to take a holy vow of silence, and ritual mummification is making a comeback. Crime is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Moooncraft's national animal is the Mako shark, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Buddhism.

Moooncraft is ranked 281,564^th in the world and 151^st in The Eternal Order for Safest, scoring 6.29 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
