The Republic of Snuffmuffania is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by President Douglas Snuffmuffin with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, suspicion of poets, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 4.221 billion Snuffmuffanians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Snuffmuffington. The average income tax rate is 25.2%.

The Snuffmuffanian economy, worth 191 trillion Snuffmuffanian Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Soda Sales. Average income is 45,386 Snuffmuffanian Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Barbed wire entanglements and guard towers surround the New Snuffmuffington Natural History Museum, the people are famous throughout the region for their perfect yellow teeth, in court almost every witness is a hostile witness, and Snuffmuffanian athletes are close to breaking the 2 minute mile and the 16 meter long jump. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force. Snuffmuffania's national animal is the Pig, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Fellowship of the Pig.

Snuffmuffania is ranked 152,640^th in the world and 7,011^th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 60.81 law-abiding acts per hour.
