The Intimidating Appearance of Muppet Sweetums is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by kindness with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, smutty television, and disturbing lack of elderly people. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 13.393 billion ogres are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Muppet Theatre. The average income tax rate is 40.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong an ogre economy, worth 871 trillion songs 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, fairly diversified black market in Soda Sales, Uranium Mining, Retail, and Pizza Delivery. 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 65,061 songs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

An Ogre politicians are often described as having more style than substance, Kindness claims tax rises are the result of 'curses', the roads are notorious throughout the region for their peril, and boats straying just metres away from the shore will raise the ire of the Coast Guard. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Muppet Sweetums's national animal is the frog, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is kind of cuddly.

Muppet Sweetums is ranked 115,852nd in the world and 9th in The Muppet Show for Highest Average Incomes, with 65,061.38 Standard Monetary Units.
