The Republic of Mochi175 is a mid-sized, socially progressive nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 90 million Mochi175ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 12.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Mochi175ian economy, worth 4.48 trillion rices a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 49,763 rices, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mochi175's national animal is the rice.

Mochi175 is ranked 30,526^th in the world and 148^th in the Outback for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 5,635.81 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
