MOOs are composed of three types of elements: People, places, and things. Because one of the goals of a MOO is to resemble (within the limitations of the medium) reality, MOOs have many of the things that one would see in everyday life: cars and houses, people and refrigerators, pets and so forth. The people who inhabit MOOs attempt to add as much detail to the MOO as possible. This means adding details as simple as making a character able to smile or as complex as establishing a
democratic system by which the MOO is governed (such as the one that exists at LambdaMOO).
