 The Holy Republic of Molybdenopolis is a small, economically powerful nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-working, intelligent population of 9 million are either ruled by a small, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.
 
 The medium-sized, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Education, and Religion & Spirituality. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12%. A small but healthy private sector is dominated by the Uranium Mining industry.
 
 Citizens select which government department gets their income tax kroutons each year, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, and voting is voluntary. Crime is moderate, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Molybdenopolis's national animal is the squirrel, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the krouton.
 
 Molybdenopolis is ranked 12th in the region and 112,934th in the world for Most Income Equality.
