The Republic of Mosslax is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.9 billion Mosslaxians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 43.5%.

The sizeable but inefficient Mosslaxian economy, worth 79.7 trillion pokeyens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Retail, Woodchip Exports, Automobile Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 41,962 pokeyens, with the richest citizens earning 6.8 times as much as the poorest.

Homes have been banned from having any more than one wheel, the experimental sculpture "Overtures In Dried Snorlax Dung" has been declared a national treasure, anyone who so much as frowns risks being referred to a mental health unit, and mollycoddled youths run the country. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mosslax's national animal is the snorlax, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Mosslax is ranked 187,541st in the world and 5th in Pokopia for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 2,033.52 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
