The Democratic States of Independent republic of MOSAICA is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Matizyx with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, daily referendums, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.964 billion Mosaices are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alépolis. The average income tax rate is 74.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Mosaice economy, worth 232 trillion tiles a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Tourism, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 78,318 tiles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is interviewing for thousands of 'Religious Censor' positions, weekly religious services often resemble campaign rallies, military strategists are questioning the wisdom of subsidizing the economies of sworn enemies, and flash floods that dams could have controlled regularly ravage small towns in mountain valleys. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Independent republic of MOSAICA's national animal is the elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Absurdism.

Independent republic of MOSAICA is ranked 240,533^rd in the world and 9,034^th in Osiris for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 19,736.3 Standard Monetary Units.
