The Empire of Legion Of The Moon is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Orik Valdon with an iron fist, and renowned for its closed borders, soft-spoken computers, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 4.834 billion Legion Of The Moonians 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Citadel. The average income tax rate is 90.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Legion Of The Moonian economy, worth 536 trillion Lunar Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 111,060 Lunar Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hotels often double as quarantine zones, rocket boots and thermal detonators have become standard-issue military gear, it is against the rules of boxing to hit above or below the belt, and politicians are often seen with soldiers pointing guns at their heads. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Legion Of The Moon's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Balance.

Legion Of The Moon is ranked 26,897^th in the world and 639^th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 235.88 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
