The Protectorate of Muggkaahn is a very large, genial nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 216 million Pyisuur are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Spirituality, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 78.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Pyisuur economy, worth 6.02 trillion coiled-twigs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Uranium Mining, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 27,875 coiled-twigs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Retirees make up the bulk of foreign students, astronauts take one small step for Muggkaahn and one giant step backward from confrontation, the constant playing of Merry Birthday on Pyisuur radio has led to calls for the song to be classified as a crime against humanity, and voting district maps are said to resemble a tyrannosaurus eating the capital. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Muggkaahn's national animal is the water strider, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Muggkaahn is ranked 99,152^nd in the world and 67^th in Karma for Highest Drug Use, scoring 179.74 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
