The Insular Area of Moonlight Cay is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its parental licensing program, unlimited-speed roads, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 2.488 billion Moonlight Cayians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lunar Island. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 54.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Moonlight Cayian economy, worth 303 trillion Imperial Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 121,855 Imperial Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 416,635 per year while the poor average 26,203, a ratio of 15.9 to 1.

The weather report is the prisoners' favourite programme, enemy governments seem especially interested in Moonlight Cay's election cycle, soldiers on first dates introduce themselves only by their ranks and serial numbers, and hordes of faceless civil servants are running cities. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Moonlight Cay's national animal is the Argyrean Tobacco Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Moonlight Cay is ranked 44,431^st in the world and 1^st in Night for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 22,133.74 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
