The Island of Stone Moai is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Hold on I will be out in a moment with an iron fist, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, avowedly heterosexual populace, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 9.067 billion Stone Moai are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Spirituality, although Defense and Industry are also considered important, while Education and Environment aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Uhhh I sleep here. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18.8%.

The frighteningly efficient a Stone Moai economy, worth 781 trillion Gum gums a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Pizza Delivery. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 86,161 Gum gums, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 459,664 per year while the poor average 8,487, a ratio of 54.2 to 1.

Hunters often become the hunted, travellers are often forcibly evicted by torch-bearing mobs, rural Stone Moai stare in awe at the bright lights of the big cities, and many of the poor live from cradle to grave without ever seeing sunlight. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Stone Moai's national animal is the Dum dum, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Lead snorting.

Stone Moai is ranked 328,028th in the world and 26th in The Empires And Republics Of Power for Safest, scoring 4.11 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
