The Republic of Mops congicus is a large, orderly nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, suspicion of poets, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 190 million Mops congicusians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business government is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, although Social Policy and Public Transport are also considered important, while Law & Order and Administration are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.4%.

The all-consuming Mops congicusian economy, worth 12.9 trillion Bats a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 68,070 Bats, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 229,996 per year while the poor average 14,901, a ratio of 15.4 to 1.

The examiners who examine examiners are being examined by examiners, there is one competing standard, nobody draws smiley faces on receipts anymore, and the national sporting identity is represented by a talking burger and a singing smartphone. Crime is pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Mops congicus's national animal is the Bat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Mops congicus is ranked 1,637^th in the world and 64^th in bat for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 15,677.94 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
