The Commonwealth of Kozmopolis is a tiny, efficient nation, remarkable for its compulsory vegetarianism and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 9 million Kozmopolitans enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The relatively small, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.8%.

The very strong Kozmopolitan economy, worth 619 billion Kozmic Saphs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing. Average income is 68,858 Kozmic Saphs, with the richest citizens earning 8.3 times as much as the poorest.

Nude folks shun cloaks at the seashore, children must be board certified to append "Jr" to their name, high school band practice is often crashed by technicolor-clad ravers, and the government regularly reassures citizens that there are no monsters under their beds. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Kozmopolis's national animal is the Kozmic Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Kozmopolis is ranked 60,889^th in the world and 100^th in Starlight for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,500.46 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
