The Suspects of Mug Shots is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Warden with an iron fist, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, strictly enforced bedtime, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 6.506 billion Mug Shotsians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jail. The average income tax rate is 70.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Mug Shotsian economy, worth 490 trillion bitcoins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Gambling, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 75,357 bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Midnight pizza breaks are common among the work-from-home population, baby boys who pick up pink crayons are sent to a psychiatric ward, the nation's latest batch of politicians include internet comedians, an alleged serial killer, and a highly trained rodent, and relations with Dàguó have warmed from frosty to chilly. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mug Shots's national animal is the rodent, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Frredom.

Mug Shots is ranked 61,089^th in the world and 3^rd in Community for Most Developed, scoring 74.22 on the Human Development Index.
