The Hiadentship of Mobilaria is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, cynical population of 27.467 billion Mobilarians 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."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 90.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Mobilarian economy, worth 767 trillion huldens a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, highly specialized black market in Beef-Based Agriculture, Automobile Manufacturing, and Gambling. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 27,926 huldens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Nudity is frowned upon, the words 'private' and 'enterprise' must never appear in the same sentence, fur coats have become the latest fashion trend, and poets and writers are regularly rounded up and shot for entertainment. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mobilaria's national animal is the ox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mobilaria is ranked 255,269th in the world and 1st in Firlandesia for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -36.06 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
