The Commonwealth of Black-Moses is a colossal, safe nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 3.563 billion Black-Mosesians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 22.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Black-Mosesian economy, worth 173 trillion francs a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 48,735 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

'Mountain Doobie' is widely regarded as the nation's favourite drink, pet owners make sure their dogs wear diapers, freighter lifeboats have been replaced by state of the art marker buoys so divers can recover the cargo after they sink, and travelers often bring empty plastic bottles on Air Black-Moses flights to avoid the pay lavatories. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Black-Moses's national animal is the dolphin.

Black-Moses is ranked 137,352^nd in the world and 6^th in Croaso for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,321.99 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
