The Republic of Musalaj is a large, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. The democratic, devout population of 110 million Musalajans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 29.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Musalajian economy, worth 4.31 trillion monies a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Uranium Mining, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 39,191 monies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Children must be board certified to append "Jr" to their name, there has been a rapid increase of noise complaints over the sound of buzzing bees, the government's religious works are headed by a New Age guru, and there's no representation without taxation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Musalaj's national animal is the elefante.

Musalaj is ranked 261,207^th in the world and 37^th in Dixie for Highest Average Incomes, with 39,191.92 Standard Monetary Units.
