The Nomadic Peoples of Moaning Lisa is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Moll Flanders with an even hand, and renowned for its strictly enforced bedtime, national health service, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cheerful, devout population of 13.108 billion Moaning Lisans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fanny Hill. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Moaning Lisan economy, worth a remarkable 3,290 trillion Vouchers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 251,061 Vouchers, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,060,800 per year while the poor average 38,443, a ratio of 27.6 to 1.

Nobody wants to know how the sausage is made, veterans are directed into environmental cleanup operations, failing businesses often become the sites of unsolved murders, and voters are one of the nation's top imports. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Moaning Lisa's national animal is the Louse, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Meretriciousness.

Moaning Lisa is ranked 42,657^th in the world and 239^th in the West Pacific for Largest Populations, with 13.1 billion capita.
