The Free Land of Muaratia is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Archibald Batakan with a fair hand, and notable for its frequent executions, ritual sacrifices, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 3.12 billion Muaratians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, corrupt, liberal, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, although Education is also considered important, while Environment and Law & Order are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of NP Exchange Center. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Muaratian economy, worth 657 trillion Muaratian New Pesos a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Information Technology, and Gambling. Average income is an amazing 210,597 Muaratian New Pesos, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 607,283 per year while the poor average 57,975, a ratio of 10.5 to 1.

The leading national news source is 'my cousin Billy-Bob on MyFace', funeral mourners ridesharing with the deceased are encouraged to sit on the coffin to save room, a flying elephant and Archibald Batakan share the same nickname, and the government has ordered a moratorium on referenda. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Muaratia's national animal is the Cobbus Duck, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Free Market.

Muaratia is ranked 759^th in the world and 22^nd in The North Pacific for Fattest Citizens, with 68.56 Obesity Rate.
