The State of Nathan Muir is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and renowned for its burgeoning deer population. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 25.593 billion Nathan Muirians 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 relatively small, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Welfare, with Education and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.2%.

The very strong Nathan Muirian economy, worth a remarkable 1,335 trillion betales a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. Average income is 52,182 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 155,157 per year while the poor average 13,759, a ratio of 11.3 to 1.

The government is avowedly atheist, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, Nathan Muir has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of Nathan Muir in an international press conference. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Nathan Muir's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Nathan Muir is ranked 96,157^th in the world and 4^th in Dakar for Most Beautiful Environments, with 570.86 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
