The Wisecracks of Muppet Rizzo the Rat is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by gluttony with an iron fist, and renowned for its teetotalling pirates, barren, inhospitable landscape, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 8.146 billion rats 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Muppet Theatre. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 34.7%.

The a rat economy, worth 389 trillion jellybeans 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 large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Uranium Mining, Gambling, Furniture Restoration, 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 47,787 jellybeans, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 149,857 per year while the poor average 11,676, a ratio of 12.8 to 1.

A proud mining community is considering a rebellion after the Capital officially renamed them 'District XII', forest fires have dropped dramatically as there are hardly any forests left, police conduct weekly raids looking for contraband cheeseburgers, and sleep-deprived officials are known to collapse after late night revision for their examinations. Crime is a major problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Muppet Rizzo the Rat's national animal is the rat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is streetwise.

Muppet Rizzo the Rat is ranked 287,236^th in the world and 48^th in The Muppet Show for Lowest Crime Rates, with 36.32 law-abiding acts per hour.
