Economy[edit]
Moon Island's economy is based on various industries. The finance sector, one of Moon Island's oldest industries, is still a powerhouse. However, thanks to the rise of other industries, it no longer held a large chunk of the nation's economy. Aside from local banks, many foreign-based financial institutions also opened branches here, notably those from the USA, Shops Union, Zhou, Malesia and Calada. There are three stock exchanges in Moon Island - the Dancing Penguin Stock Exchange (DPSE, located at Dancing Penguin City), the Moon Island City Stock Exchange (MICSE, located at Moon Island City) and the Wizzint Industrial Stock Exchanges (WISE, located at Wizzint).
Moon Island's manufacturing industries are established with the intention of cutting off imports from other nations and increasing exports to other nations. In order to be a "self-reliance" state, the government invested equally in each manufacturing industries. However, some of Moon Island's manufacturing industries are still more prominent than the others, such as the electronic/electric products industry, computer industry, silk-manufacturing industry and chemical-engineering industry. Some regions of Moon Island are known for being the base of certain industries, with examples being how Golden Coast is known for its arms-manufacturing industry and Tanthu being renowned for its automobile-manufacturing industry. The pharmaceuticals industry of Moon Island is best-known for producing high-quality and cheap medicine. Its advancement allowed the government to provide free, excellent healthcare service to Moon Islanders without the need of high taxations, to a certain extent that is.
A majority of Moon Islanders are employed in the service industry. Many types of services are available in the nation. Information Technology is a powerhouse in this sector.
With the exception of a few mineral deposits scattered around the island and the occasional oil or natural gas deposit near its coast, the mining industry is practically non-existent. In its early years, Moon Island imported petroleum from other members of the Shops Union, as almost every automobiles run on petroleum. However, technological advancement that resulted in every transportation vehicles running on biofuel, solar energy or electricity cut the need for petroleum five to six years after its establishment. Moon Island imports other types of minerals from its trading partner, the most notable being Chill Island. This trading agreement also resulted in Moon Island being one of the main exporter of butter to Chill Island.
Finally, we have the agricultural industry. As previously stated, Moon Island is the primary exporter of butter to Chill Island. In order to exploit this, the nation created a diary products industry. However, aside from its butter-for-minerals purpose, this industry doesn't bring much income for its investors, most of which are penguins living in rural areas. However, this wasn't to say that the agricultural industry is useless to MI. Moon Island is one of the largest manufacturer of cotton in the Asiapelago. Many of MI's cotton plantations are located at the city of Pheonix, Golden Coast. In order to fund the arms-manufacturing industry, government officials encouraged local plantation owners to switch to planting cotton, which was seen as a cash crop. A few years later, however, the cotton industry was no longer seen as an industry whose purposes are to fund the arms-manufacturing and textile industries. It was seen as an important itself, with a commodities exchange dedicated to it - the Pheonix City Cotton Exchange (PCCE, located at Pheonix City). It is the most important cotton exchange in Antarctica, but it received competition from other cotton exchanges too.
Currency[edit]
The currency of Moon Island is the Wiki-Buck$ (WB$), which was also its currency when it was still a semi-autonomous state of the now disestablished Shops Island.

Prior to 2038, there were only three divisions on Moon Island, the North and South states, and the Freezestonian Autonomous Region (F.A.R.).

- D.P. State
- Conholm
- Mount
- Sirpathe
- West Mount
- Hamshire
- Moonover
- Wizzintine

After Dps05 took office, he didn't revert back to the old system, as he had other things he focused on during his presidency.
