The Protectorate of Mochi2 is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The quiet, industrious population of 548 million Mochi2ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The large government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 46.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but inefficient Mochi2ian economy, worth 15.5 trillion rices a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Soda Sales, and Gambling. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 28,210 rices, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.
Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mochi2's national animal is the rice, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Mochi2 is ranked 29,642nd in the world and 23rd in The Glorious Nations of Iwaku for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 5,799.16 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
