The Republic of Mul is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Naomi Watts with a fair hand, and notable for its parental licensing program, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.095 billion Mulians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mulholland. The average income tax rate is 92.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Mulian economy, worth 539 trillion Mulas a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 174,417 Mulas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Estate agents justify funky smells by revealing how often the previous owners showered, annual Formula One races bring the capital to a screeching halt, students do more community service than homework, and gambling is outlawed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mul's national animal is the Mule, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mul is ranked 3,063^rd in the world and 4^th in Talonia for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 98.54 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
