The State of Moscha is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by the Governor with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 21.674 billion Moschans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Spirituality, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.2%.

The strong Moschan economy, worth a remarkable 1,161 trillion betales a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 53,590 betales, with the richest citizens earning 6.7 times as much as the poorest.

The automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, Moscha has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of Moscha in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force. Moscha's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Moscha is ranked 101,441^st in the world and 1^st in Muscat for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,267.22 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
