The Republic of Mochi122 is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-working population of 502 million Mochi122ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 55.1%.

The Mochi122ian economy, worth 20.3 trillion rices a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 40,476 rices, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mochi122's national animal is the rice, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mochi122 is ranked 148,268^th in the world and 5,563^rd in Lazarus for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 521.16 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
