The Kingdom of Mox Tantalite is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its teetotalling pirates, barren, inhospitable landscape, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 10.475 billion Mox Tantaliteans 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Administration, Industry, and Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tantalite City. The average income tax rate is 50.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Mox Tantalitean economy, worth a remarkable 1,660 trillion manas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. 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 an impressive 158,565 manas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Prisons are filled with the cackles and sobs of a deranged inmate population, the Supreme Court vehemently protects civil rights and the right to privacy, bike rage is all the rage, and tax evaders are regularly visited by agents of the Mox Tantalite Blood Tithe. Crime is moderate. Mox Tantalite's national animal is the manabird, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Mox Tantalite is ranked 286,855^th in the world and 214^th in Nederland for Highest Food Quality, scoring 4.57 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
