The Commonwealth of Kozmopolis is a tiny, socially progressive nation, renowned for its compulsory vegetarianism, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, hard-working population of 16 million Kozmopolitans enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13.6%.

The very strong Kozmopolitan economy, worth 1.18 trillion Kozmic Saphs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 73,640 Kozmic Saphs, with the richest citizens earning 8.2 times as much as the poorest.

Elementary school children develop thousand-yard stares, Dàguó lanterns outnumber streetlights in major cities, sales of pregnancy testing kits are booming, and national park visitors are reporting a rash of poison ivy sightings. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Kozmopolis's national animal is the Kozmic Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Kozmopolis is ranked 253,389^th in the world and 485^th in Starlight for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 518.34 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
