The Joyful Jock of Moose Mason is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Moose Mason with an iron fist, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, ban on automobiles, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 13.162 billion Riverdalians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Riverdale. The average income tax rate is 67.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Riverdalian economy, worth a remarkable 1,745 trillion Dollars 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, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. 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 impressive 132,580 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Knitters are arrested for carrying needles in their bags, blue bloods are welcome in Moose Mason, rural communities are all but disenfranchised as politicians focus all their attention on winning the deciding urban votes, and lobotomies haven't been the same after the practice was severed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Moose Mason's national animal is the Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Moose Mason is ranked 52,989^th in the world and 8^th in Riverdale for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 67.44 Effective Tax Rate.
