The Duc de l'Infern of Murmur is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Gran Duc Murmur with a fair hand, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.181 billion Murmureans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Castell-palau d'Archaryns. The average income tax rate is 79.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Murmurean economy, worth 870 trillion aurs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 121,162 aurs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

No one is quite sure what many government officials look like, cooking with water and baking soda is considered patent infringement, the Castell-palau d'Archaryns Pride Parade's head banner explains how unionizing is heteronormative, and dogs are encouraged to confront the psychodynamic roots of their desire to be "good boys". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Murmur's national animal is the homenets, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Antropomància.

Murmur is ranked 35,992^nd in the world and 1^st in The Dejected Realms for Lowest Crime Rates, with 84.28 law-abiding acts per hour.
