The Mother of The Moths is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic population of 22.38 billion brood are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 69.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Progeny economy, worth 381 trillion Moth-eaten blankets a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Pizza Delivery, and Book Publishing. Average income is 17,053 Moth-eaten blankets, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Moths's national animal is the Moth, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Moths is ranked 248,656^th in the world and 288^th in Forest for Highest Food Quality, scoring 7.69 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
