The Republic of Mochi149 is a fledgling, safe nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 5 million Mochi149ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 48.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The weak Mochi149ian economy, worth 149 billion rices a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Retail, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 29,818 rices, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mochi149's national animal is the rice.

Mochi149 is ranked 283,945^th in the world and 2,336^th in the West Pacific for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring -7.62 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
