The State of Munuscong is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and remarkable for its irreverence towards religion and complete lack of public education. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 44.592 billion Munuscongians 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 tiny, outspoken government is dominated by the Department of Welfare, although Industry and Healthcare are also considered important, while Defense and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Barrack Hill. The average income tax rate is 9.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Munuscongian economy, worth a remarkable 1,582 trillion betales a year, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Gambling, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 35,482 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The Governor has just been declared ruler of Munuscong in an international press conference, the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly, the new national campaign exhorts men to "Show Some Class - Don't Sit On Your Ass", and most foreigners can't name the leader of Munuscong. Crime is moderate, probably because of the absence of a police force. Munuscong's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Munuscong is ranked 111,231^st in the world and 1^st in Munuscong for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,001.27 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
