The Republic of Muscor is a massive, cultured nation, notable for its state-planned economy, prohibition of alcohol, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, devout population of 1.758 billion Muscorians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 61.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Muscorian economy, worth 87.6 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Cheese Exports, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 49,849 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Leader has no checks and balances after the upper house was abolished, travellers are often forcibly evicted by torch-bearing mobs, concert halls sport signs proclaiming "No Shorts, Sandals or Swastikas", and a nickname of "Doctor Death" probably indicates a decorated war hero. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Muscor's national animal is the aplix, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Muscor is ranked 173,336^th in the world and 16^th in The Slumber for Highest Average Incomes, with 49,849.02 Standard Monetary Units.
