The Supreme Socialist State of Mokawania is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons. Its compassionate population of 15.857 billion enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of the Environment, Social Equality, and Social Welfare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mokawania City. The average income tax rate is 83%, and even higher for the wealthy. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

It is illegal for police officers to carry out searches due to strict privacy laws, the "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Mokawania City Times is sold out, a ban on unsolicited cold calling in all forms is in effect, and the government is spending millions on renovating the public transportation system. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is a major problem, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Mokawania's national animal is the grizzly, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the moka.

Mokawania is ranked 2,720th in the South Pacific and 93,992nd in the world for Most Influential, scoring 4 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
