The Nomadic Peoples of Moaning Lisa is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Moll Flanders with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cheerful, devout population of 13.091 billion Moaning Lisans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fanny Hill. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Moaning Lisan economy, worth a remarkable 3,277 trillion Vouchers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 250,342 Vouchers, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,055,539 per year while the poor average 38,471, a ratio of 27.4 to 1.

The government is proudly free of crabs, history lessons resemble a who's-who and how's-how of crime, the government only announces the deaths of its members when it's convenient, and civil servants refuse to enforce government regulations for fear of wider economic impact. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Moaning Lisa's national animal is the Louse, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Meretriciousness.

Moaning Lisa is ranked 6,224^th in the world and 70^th in the West Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 250,342.14 Standard Monetary Units.
