The Empire of Mozzarella stickz is a small, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its state-planned economy. The democratic population of 36 million Mozzarella stickzians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 24.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Mozzarella stickzian economy, worth 1.43 trillion mozzarellazes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Retail. Average income is 39,807 mozzarellazes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A cat may look at a king and a dude can look at an ass, graffiti graces every city's streets, sometimes a whole prison wing will house a single prisoner, and the armed forces are locked in an expensive and bloody war abroad to stamp out possible terrorists. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mozzarella stickz's national animal is the mozzarella stick, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Mozzarella stickz is ranked 92,332^nd in the world and 1^st in TheAbyss for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,532.53 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
