The United Empire of Mutan is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Oleksander I with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, digital currency, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 4.212 billion Mutanians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rome. The average income tax rate is 66.0%.

The thriving Mutanian economy, worth 447 trillion Pecunias a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 106,249 Pecunias, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll, this year's hottest fashion trend is the Lese Majeste collection, city workers have declared that rolling markets aren't good for business after all, and drunk drivers are sent to rehabilitation paid for by the government. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mutan's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Mutan is ranked 70,389^th in the world and 297^th in the Outback for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 4,056.17 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
