The Empire of Mukralien is a tiny, cultured nation, remarkable for its compulsory vegetarianism and prohibition of alcohol. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 12 million Mukkis hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 18.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Mukralienian economy, worth 632 billion mukmarks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Cheese Exports, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 52,674 mukmarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Children high on sugar can often be seen bouncing off walls, museums have more touchscreens on display than artifacts, criminals and college students are taking an interest in the government's new weed-killing program, and citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits. Crime is well under control. Mukralien's national animal is the Koala, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mukralien is ranked 154,486^th in the world and 93^rd in Albastru for Highest Average Incomes, with 52,674.9 Standard Monetary Units.
