The Brennanndi Ríki of Muspellheim is a behemoth, orderly nation, ruled by God-Emperor with an iron fist, and remarkable for its enslaved workforce, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 51.657 billion Muspellsons 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 minute, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Law & Order also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Muspell. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Muspellheimian economy, worth an astonishing 35,495 trillion ISSP Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is a breathtaking 687,132 ISSP Credits, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,299,220 per year while the poor average 83,564, a ratio of 39.5 to 1.

Homebuyers must agree to name their firstborn after the previous owner, God-Emperor will only ring up foreign leaders if they agree to reverse the charges, the government response to disaster victims starving for bread is "let them eat stale cake", and families consisting of more than three people are forced to split up. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Muspellheim's national animal is the homo sapiens, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Surtr-worship.

Muspellheim is ranked 332,572^nd in the world and 46^th in Scandinavia for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring -135.17 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
