The Military of Modon is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Modo N with a fair hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, vat-grown people, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.976 billion Modonians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Modon city. The average income tax rate is 39.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Modonian economy, worth 91.8 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is 46,443 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Prisons in Modon are the summer homes of murderers, a cyber-war between file sharers and the music industry formats hard drives across the country, farmers have taken to hunting billionaires who encroach on their land, and construction workers evacuate work sites after finding sharp rocks on the ground. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Modon's national animal is the elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Modon is ranked 38,907^th in the world and 1^st in Project for Smartest Citizens, with 49.62 quips per hour.
