The Republic of Mochi159 is a small, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 26 million Mochi159ians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Healthcare, and Public Transport also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.9%.

The thriving Mochi159ian economy, worth 1.70 trillion rices a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 65,220 rices, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 230,861 per year while the poor average 13,303, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Mochi159's national animal is the rice.

Mochi159 is ranked 307,555^th in the world and 1,548^th in the Plains of Perdition for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring -3.16 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
