The Republic of Mookasta1 is a titanic, orderly nation, notable for its pith helmet sales, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 11.394 billion Mookasta1ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 73.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Mookasta1ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,482 trillion marks a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 130,154 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Mookasta1's fine wines are renowned throughout the region, the government seizes corporate assets it deems 'scary enough', air purifiers fight smoke machines on Mookasta1ian stage setups, and nobody looks each other in the eye at neighborhood block parties any more. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mookasta1's national animal is the falcon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Mookasta1 is ranked 325,420^th in the world and 4,969^th in eta for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -13.82 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
