The Commonwealth of Kozmopolis is a large, efficient nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory vegetarianism, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working population of 135 million Kozmopolitans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 17.0%.

The powerhouse Kozmopolitan economy, worth 11.3 trillion Kozmic Saphs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Tourism. Average income is 83,602 Kozmic Saphs, with the richest citizens earning 8.6 times as much as the poorest.

Autopsies often involve only cursory examination, overhead luggage compartments on planes sometimes conceal diminutive intelligence officers, preservative manufacturers are told to put a lid on it, and children who display even minimal sporting aptitude are immediately assigned a personal trainer. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Kozmopolis's national animal is the Kozmic Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Kozmopolis is ranked 41,694^th in the world and 137^th in Starlight for Smartest Citizens, with 48 quips per hour.
