The Republic of Musnople is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its parental licensing program, soft-spoken computers, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 1.73 billion Musnopleans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lezhek. The average income tax rate is 32.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Musnoplean economy, worth 272 trillion Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 157,239 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

There's no representation without taxation, Harry Potter conventions are closely watched by the government for any signs of 'dueling', Leader's told that love often manifests itself through homicidal four-lettered litanies, and senior citizens can usually be found doing heavy manual labour. Crime is totally unknown. Musnople's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Musnople is ranked 130,025^th in the world and 5,003^rd in Lazarus for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 828.19 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
