The Armed Republic of -Mustang- is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Roy with an iron fist, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, rampant corporate plagiarism, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.95 billion Mustangians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Amestris. The average income tax rate is 81.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Mustangian economy, worth a remarkable 2,849 trillion cenzes 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Retail, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Gambling. 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 an amazing 286,375 cenzes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children have lost interest in toy guns in favor of toy meth lab kits, the government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles, the Counter-Terrorism Unit has been nicknamed "Big Bad Wolf" for its tendency towards urban demolition, and the government regularly publishes lengthy reports on its own excessive recordkeeping. Crime is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. -Mustang-'s national animal is the dog, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Cards.

-Mustang- is ranked 18,453rd in the world and 215th in NationStates for Most Stationary, with 1,672.68349892632 days.
